VICTORINOX - THE COMPANY
With 1,000 employees, Victorinox is the largest employer in the Canton of Schwyz,
and the largest cutlery factory in Europe. Approximately 34,000 “Swiss Army
Knives” (100 different models) and 38,000 other pocket tools (300 different
models) as well as 30,000 household, kitchen and professional knives are produced
daily in Ibach. 90% of production is exported to over 100 countries.
For an unbroken period of more than 100 years Victorinox has been the supplier
of soldier’s knives to the Swiss army. After the death of his mother in 1909,
founder Karl Elsener chose her first name, Victoria, as the company’s brand
name. When stainless steel was introduced in Ibach following its invention in
1921, the term «Inox» (the international designation for stainless
steel) was added to Victoria, and the present-day brand and company name of Victorinox
was created
from the combination of these two words.
