FOUR KEY RESULTS

INDEPENDENCE

2020 was our first year as an independent company. As part of the demerger, we separated out the essential parts of the former Defence and Aviation divisions from the RUAG Group and combined them into a new company group as of January 1, 2020.

BRANDING

At the end of June, we redesigned our external branding, thereby giving our independent status a new and visible presence. Our logo, color scheme and design are modern and reflect our values: Swiss, collaborative and future- oriented.

SwissSkills CHAMPIONSHIPS

We place great emphasis on the education of our future employees. We are proud that our apprentices were able to participate in the SwissSkills Championships, successfully demonstrating their capabilities and winning medals and certificates in various disciplines.

AIR2030

The positive public decision for the procurement of new military jets demonstrates that the Swiss population has a strong need for security. We are proud that we will also continue to play our part as a technology partner of the Swiss Air Force in the future, contributing to air defense – meeting the needs of our society.
