After thirty years of opening European markets for our customers, we chose Neuchâtel, Switzerland to increase our operational efficiency and be at the heart of the Swiss industrial ecosystem.
At Nordic Industries Development, we were looking for the best base for our second European office. Here’s why Neuchâtel won.
- An industrial fabric close to Finland’s. Switzerland’s machinery, electrical engineering and metals (MEM) industry exported CHF 68,3 billion in 2024 (71,7b Euros), a little more than 24% of the country’s total exports. Precision engineering, high-tech production and high value-added manufacturing are exactly the industries we have served for over 30 years.
- At the heart of industrial Europe. Within a 300 km radius of Neuchâtel lies one of the densest industrial areas on the continent, reaching Stuttgart, Lyon, Milan and Turin. For clients who want to build sales channels in Europe, being here means being close to their future customers, distributors and partners.
- A gateway to France and Germany. France is a key market for many of our clients. From Neuchâtel, we can work in French and English and reach French customers quickly. Our office in Brühl, Germany puts its 30 years of expertise at the service of our clients to develop the Swiss-German part of Switzerland and Germany.
- A shared culture of quality. Like Finnish companies, Swiss companies invest in expertise and long-term relationships. That fits how we work: 70% of our clients come back to us, and our longest client relationship has lasted more than 20 years.
What this means for you: If you’re a Nordic company looking to enter or grow in Central Europe, we now have a team on the ground. And if you’re a Swiss-based company, including a non-European company with its European headquarters here, we can help you structure and develop your sales channels across Europe and beyond.
