A WORD FROM OUR CEO

A WORD FROM OUR CEO

Swisspearl stands for Swiss quality and craftsmanship—throughout the world. Our daily work and the foundation of our worldwide success are based on environmentally-sound thought and action, and a corporate culture founded on mutual respect for our employees and partners, as well as the highest regard for our customers. The past months have once again made us aware of how important it is to have reliable partners and motivated employees. Our aim with the annual Swisspearl Architecture magazine is to offer you a bit of insight into our company, present new products, and show a selection of interesting projects that have been realized throughout the world with our materials. Our panels, produced in the foothills of the Alps, are used in so many places — it is fascinating to see them all! This issue’s featured structure leads us to the west coast of Australia, to a remote town called Wickham on the coast of the Indian Ocean. The area is thinly settled and shaped by an extreme climate with fierce winds and a lot of sun; difficult conditions for façade material. The new community center with a library, youth center, and skate park is the hub of the town center. The lively and colorful educational and recreational landscape offers space for all, and brings together young and old. The structure is functional and at the same time, high-quality; it is versatile and robust. The building has character and gives the town an identity. And that is precisely what distinguishes our material. Let yourself be inspired! Harry Bosshardt, CEO Swisspearl Group
