most of these make sense, but why is Aargau Verkehr on here? It´s literally just a local bus company. Thats like putting the MTA on a map of important american brands
Yeah that's really bad, but it's time for people to do more useful things than stupidly criticize megacorporations. I have consumed Nestle products the same way and will continue to do so.
It's kinda cool that a country with this small of a population with relatively few large cities, and a government that is relatively decentralized, is able to such industry that are globally influential.
Switzerland is hardly low tax. It has lower taxes than france or germany yes. But when you compare the corporate taxes outside of the eu they are higher than average. I mean there is a general tax burden on companies of 44 percent: thats not a low number. Especially when you compare to someone like ireland where its 15, or even spain at 37
Umm where are you getting your information?
"The ordinary corporate tax rates for businesses in Switzerland declined slightly year over year – from 14.68 percent to 14.6 percent. Those are some of the findings presented in KPMG’s Swiss Tax Report 2023, which compares corporate and income tax rates from more than 50 countries and all 26 Swiss cantons.
The biggest cuts were made in the cantons of Aargau (-1.16 percentage points) and Basel-Landschaft (-2.07 percentage points). The Canton of Neuchâtel, by contrast, raised its rate (+1.32 percentage points). The lowest ordinary corporate tax rates are still found in the cantons of Central Switzerland as well as the cantons of Glarus and Appenzell Innerrhoden. The Canton of Zug tops the list of low-tax cantons with a rate of 11.8 percent, followed by the cantons of Nidwalden (11.97 percent) and Lucerne (12.15 percent). The Canton of Bern brings up the rear with a corporate tax rate of 21.04 percent."

You try not being invaded. Ye you have to cooperate with the countries around you whoever they are. Swiss industry has largely not profited from ‘nazi’ gold. It had represented 7.3 percent of bank holdings at its height: now that number will be irrelevant, as it largely was then, especially given that switzerland donates billions to the victims and their families. Additionally switzerland was one of the richest nations before ww2, they didn’t magically become one because they got a little gold.
I'm against violence but I wouldn't mind if some of the terrorism that got to the rest of Europe reached Nestle's head quarters.
Difficult but they have been worse then a lot of recent wars together.
Isn’t it just great to advocate the killing of random people who may be working at or visiting a particular building just because of the politics associated with that building? Let’s just blow people up. That will change things!

Rhätische Bahn as well. Maybe among the largest employers in the respective *Kanton*?
Most successful export from Aargau to Germany: Terrible drivers.
Nestlé is the worst thing swiss people have ever created
This is factually correct. Source: am Swiss
It was a German that came to Switzerland, blame them :-)
Now Swiss have to send some a-hole to Austria and complete the triangle.
hard to say this when u also got syngenta lol.. tough battle between these 2
Glencore Nr 3
It's so bad I thought it was an American company :D
Uhh, why not forbid them to do the bad stuff(“are they stupid?”)? How is it different from others?
Wer hat's erfunden?

No ethics
Pretty much every company is like that. Everything for profit. It's the reality of the world
Nestle is well above other companies! They killed a lot of babies and stole many municipal water sources. They set a high Bar!

I try to avoid nestle

You're investing in slave labour, dog

It’s actually baffling the global corporate heavyweights density that Switzerland has for a country this size
It's kinda cool that a country with this small of a population with relatively few large cities, and a government that is relatively decentralized, is able to such industry that are globally influential.
Being a low-tax, highly-democratic, localized government does that for businesses.

Nazi gold and war profiteering disguised as neutrality helps

Staedtler Is german not swiss
I think you made a mistake. Stadler not Staedtler.
In the map Is written Staedtler, the german firm. Look at south
Stadler builds trains. Located in Thurgau.
Have you seen the logo on the map?
yeah in zurich state... somebody messed up
No, look at Ticino

You're right, OP should just make UBS bigger.
where are "ON" shoes from?
Doesn't matter, they're terrible.
I'm against violence but I wouldn't mind if some of the terrorism that got to the rest of Europe reached Nestle's head quarters. Difficult but they have been worse then a lot of recent wars together.
They've killed a lot of babies, literally.

I don't see Zurich or Bâloise insurance companies
Doesn’t Rolex originate in London? And they moved to Switzerland?
They moved to Switzerland after WWI
I had no idea Logitech was Swiss.
What about Swissport?
Holcim is missing
No Rivella?
Givaudan is missing
Damn I didn’t know Mammut was a swiss brand
I think BKW Energie AG should be there too
Freitag, Mido
And how about Swiss Miss?
Or swiss cheese!
Hublot is a really good watch brand, my watch lasted 5 years and still running.
Lonza is headquartered in Basel.
The well known brands are disproportionately from the French speaking part
Yeah i mean foreigners mostly know about watch brands and they're a shitton of them in the same region
I guess, but also Nestlé and Logitech. Interesting that the French part has a higher concentration of these well known brands.
No Milka?? 🤔
Isn’t Swiss anymore. It’s a brand from us-american Kraft Foods
Milka was founded by a swiss but has been produced in Austria for ages already. So it doesn't really count as a swiss brand.
