Swiss Employer Award 2011
|
> SCHURTER – third best employer in Switzerland
|
Again SCHURTER achieves an outstanding place in the Swiss Employer Award 2011. After its first place in the Employer Award 2005 and second place in 2009 SCHURTER achieved the 3rd place.
SCHURTER AG achieved an outstanding 3rd place in the Swiss Employer Award 2011. Victory this year went to Electrolux. Unlike customary assessments, this employer evaluation is conducted not by an expert jury but is instead based on the appraisals of the employees themselves. SCHURTER’s success shows that, even in a difficult environment, its employees stand by their company. Central to this loyalty is employee satisfaction, which is created by means of transparency in the company strategy, the management, the processes and the transfer of knowledge. SCHURTER has adopted a distinctive, modern management culture. The hierarchies are flat and every employee has the perfect opportunity to make a contribution. This is facilitated by the pleasant atmosphere within the company, the good working conditions and appropriate wages.
SCHURTER is proud to have received this award. With its first place in the Employer Award 2005 and second place in 2009, the company is clearly heading in the right direction. Winning third place in this year’s event provides the incentive to identify what it takes to be first and to implement the necessary measures to ensure the continued development of the firm. SCHURTER thanks all its employees for their participation and their critical evaluation of the company.
Eighty companies with a staff of more than 100 employees participated in the Swiss Employer Award 2011. BILANZ and the Swiss Employers’ Association were partners of the country’s largest employee survey.

> Year end closing of the SCHURTER Group 2010
|
The SCHURTER Group, active in the electronics industry as a supplier, was able to achieve a strong growth again. The consequences were a distinct increase in orders and therefore also in sales of 28.2% to CHF 193.6 m. As the investments and the capacity increases could not keep up with the economic recovery, a disproportionate increase of the EBIT and Cash Flow ensued.
2010 has begun exceedingly impetuous for the SCHURTER group with its 18 worldwide subsidiaries. The upward trend, which had already begun in the last trimester of 2009, continued without interruption. A slight slowdown on a high level became only apparent in the last days of 2010. The important growth generated new jobs. Abroad there were 227 new jobs created, in Switzerland they remained stable at 500. Aggravating factors were the currency fluctuations which influenced the results negatively – depending on the point of view – with at least CHF 2.5 m.
All three divisions of the SCHURTER group generated a similar growth in sales. However, the profit situation developed differently. Division Components, the biggest and also the division with the biggest sales volume, was at the same time the most profitable. Division Input Systems showed a strong increase in sales and attained a stable Cash Flow. Only the division EMS remained in the red, even though sales nearly doubled.
Profit after taxes of the SCHURTER group amounted to CHF 10.1 m in 2010 (2009: loss of CHF 2.8 m). Cash Flow was at CHF 17.3 m (previous year: CHF 5.9 m), EBIT was at CHF 17.2 m (previous year: CHF 0.2 m).
As a family-owned enterprise with more than 1'600 employees worldwide, it is of utmost importance to us to keep up with innovations in the electronic components field and thus to preserve employment.
