VICTORINOX ブランドストーリー

Victorinox is a worldwide operating family business, which today is run in the fourth generation. The headquarter of the company is located in Ibach, canton Schwyz, in the heart of Switzerland. This is where the founder of the company Karl Elsener I set up his cutlery business back in 1884 and, a few years later, designed the legendary “Original Swiss Army Knife”. Meanwhile, the company produces not only the world-famous pocket knives, but also high-quality household and professional knives, watches, travel gear and fragrances. In 2005, the company took over Wenger SA in Delémont, a long established manufacturer of cutlery and watches. Products are available in own stores as well as a widespread network of distributors in more than 120 countries. In 2017, the company with its more than 2100 employees generated sales of CHF 475 million.
