Coffee in trend
Coffee with perfect milk foam is the core competence of Thermoplan AG, whose success story once began with foam whippers. Today, Thermoplan is one of the global market leaders in the segment of fully automatic coffee machines and special equipment. These are used in catering establishments and well-known coffee houses on all continents. At the headquarters in Weggis, 260 employees work on the new and further development of products in order to be able to offer customers the perfect coffee experience.
The Weggis showcase company is led by CEO Adrian Steiner and has more than convinced the 11-member jury of experts of the Prix SVC Central Switzerland. In his laudatory speech, jury president Niklaus Bleiker emphasized: "The jury is very impressed that Thermoplan continues to rely on Switzerland as a high-price location for both research and production. This is more than admirable for a company with an export share of around 98%." And further: "One of the main reasons for the great success of the family-owned company, in addition to the Swiss quality it lives by, is its great innovative strength."
