Choosing Victorinox for Household and chef knives is a great choice as most of its knives are reliable, Durable, and have won multiple accords in the food community.

 

The knives stack up against the top-quality knives of the world since they are made of special martensitic steel used for blades and an alloy made of chromium, carbon, and molybdenum, which makes the knives corrosion-free and increases the knife longevity.

When it comes to luggage bags, the Company has managed to keep up with the industry`s ever-changing requirements. Each of the travel bags encompasses their iconic USPs i.e., functionality, quality and design.

 

But where do their great values come from? To deeper understand the victorinox we took a dive into one of their manufacturing units and was amazed to see what the brand has to offer.

The secrets to their quality lies in how the production takes place in Ibach, Switzerland where quality is ensured for every product that makes its way to the market. And we bring you the secrets and the values that have helped the renowned brand to dominate the world industry. Here are the 5 Facts I have managed to gather from various authentic resources.

 

The Company Values

 

The Company employs over 1000 employees, and each employee carries a key ring that stimulates the Company`s core values. If employees ever doubt their values, the key rings always end up providing a reminder to employees what they work for.

 

  • Trust
  • Respect
  • Brave
  • Accountability 
  • Preserve and Pass on Value 
  • Thankful.
  • Unbiased.
  • Their Employees

Every employee that works loves working at the Company. Which is why most of the employees at Victorinox work for at least an average of 30-40 years. The longest-serving employee has been at the Company for the past 55 years and still has no plans to leave the place anytime. I guess they do know how to keep retaining their employees.

 

Health

 

The Company holds the health of its employees in great regard, part of the reason why Victorinox has a great employee retention ratio. The Company lets employees interrupt their routine tasks three times. They Can take these breaks at their convenience to stretch and exercise. Due to the introduction of small sports, the organization has seen a significant drop in back-pain problems reported by employees.

 

Huge Buffer Stock

 

Even though almost all of the production takes place in Ibah, Switzerland, the Company imports its steel from Spain. Unlike the regular manufacturers, the Company thrives on its steel quality and retains an inventory of over 2.5 years` worth of production material required to produce the popular swiss army knives.

 

Its Machines and Handwork

 

Every piece of machinery required to keep the factory running is built in the factory. This is why the Company has a huge mechanical and electrical engineering department.  

Yet there are certain large models which are still produced by hand(110mm). Since the error in mechanical production is too high and the Company aims to deliver quality products to its users.
