Industrial Stories: From Workshop to Global Corporation

Description

Industrial pioneers of the 19th century started small and often failed. But some companies that began under the most difficult conditions in backyards have become global corporations. What is the secret to the success of Maggi, Franke, Fischer, Sulzer, Rieter, Guyer-Zeller, Plüss-Stauffer, or the handcraft teacher Pauline Zimmerli-Bäurlin, who invented a knitting machine and founded the Swiss knitwear industry? A journey of discovery into the adventurous pioneering era of industry and the founding figures, with numerous new research findings from the unknown beginnings. Our speaker Dr. phil. Helmut Stalder studied German studies, history, and political science in Zurich, Frankfurt, and New York and is the author of several non-fiction books on transport, economic, and technology history.
