Sulzer Through the Ages
From pioneering family business to global enterprise
The author Anna Bálint describes the challenges that Sulzer had to overcome on this long and sometimes rocky road. She examines company-specific topics and discusses issues related to economic history. She also explores the way Sulzer developed its adaptability under the dictates of the market environment at the time. Numerous sources as well as eyewitness accounts from former and current employees give insights into Sulzer’s changes during the recent decades. For the first time, Sulzer becomes tangible as a concrete example of a changing Swiss industrial company.

“A monumental work about the eventful history of the industrial company in Winterthur.”

Der Landbote, 01.04.2015, “The Sulzer brothers engaged courageously in new and different areas.”
“Sulzer Through the Ages is a classic company history, and, at the same time, an everyday, economic, and technical history. In this way, the new Sulzer products reflect the lifestyle changes of humans [...] a book for everyone who is interested in the history of Winterthur.”
