Preparatory Seminar 2014 - Day 4

Today was our 4th day of the preparatory seminar. We started the day with a presentation held by Mr. Beat Ineichen from Switzerland Global Enterprise. He explained to us what SGE does and how they help Swiss SMEs to start business in India. He also said which fields are interesting for Swiss companies and what the main difficulties are that they face.

The next presentation was held by the project team. They shared the experience they got on the visit to India. They also told us the difficulties they faced there with the Indian culture and that it was a huge experience. They told us for example that the traffic in India is very slow and therefore journeys take a lot of time but on the other hand there is a lot to see around.

Afterward we all were invited for lunch, which was sponsored by Catering Restaurant Sitar. This was for most of us a very nice culinary experience.  We also got the chance to taste the Indian masala tea which was really good. After the great lunch we all sat in the bus and went to Reinach to visit Endress & Hauser Flowtec AG.

Here they gave us a company presentation and introduces their company policies and told us that they are still a family business. They also said that all their manufacturing places around the world have the same tools and infrastructure. Their company in India has got a lot of Swiss culture and this has been adapted very well by the locals who are proud of their company. Then we had the opportunity to go for a tour through the factory. Here we could get a first hand insight on how the assembly of the flow measurement instruments is done and how they give a lot of importance to the quality of the manufactured goods. They also said that they had changed their production line in the past couple of years and were now able to assembly the product in one third of the time. Later we attended a presentation held by the HR-Group of Enderess & Hauser, they showed us where we could start our professional work career.  After that we were invited to a delicious Apero.
