Samsung Electronics, Switzerland expands in western Switzerland on May 10, 2013
Swiss opens second location in Lausanne
Zurich, 10 May 2013 - In May 2013 Samsung opened its second Swiss location in Lausanne, Switzerland. The new location at the World Trade Center creates jobs, meeting rooms, and a showroom. The expansion is a result of the continued growth of Samsung Switzerland and strengthens the company’s proximity to the Western Swiss market. Samsung Switzerland began its history in June 2006 with just 12 employees. Now 7 years later and with about 140 employees – and rising – the company has opened its doors in a new second location in Lausanne. Samsung Switzerland can look back on a successful year in which sales volumes rose by over 400% and achieved leading market positions in many sectors such as TV, monitors, large format displays and mobile phones. The office in western Switzerland will provide comfortable offices and large meeting areas for Samsung’s western Switzerland sales managers. In addition, a showroom will be used for presenting the latest products and innovations for clients and the media, as well as for training purposes. High-resolution images are available here .
