Interior fit-out specialist looks back on 130 years of company history
Obrist interior AG can look back on 130 years of history this year. With the celebrations, the specialist for high-quality interiors in shop fitting and interior design wants to honour its employees in particular. Obrist interior is currently in the final of the Prix SVC Zentralschweiz.
Obrist interior AG is celebrating its 130th anniversary this year. Founded in 1885 as a small joinery, the company has “developed into a global industry leader” during this time, writes Obrist interior in a press release. With the celebrations in its anniversary year, the specialist for high-quality interiors in shopfitting and interior design wants to honour its employees in particular. “We would not be where we are today without their skills, commitment and endeavours to achieve the highest level of customer satisfaction,” CEO and owner Stefan Slamanig is quoted as saying in the press release.
Obrist interior’s recipe for success is based on entrepreneurial agility, the company writes. The company based in Inwil, for example, relied on innovative technologies such as CNC machines, 3D printing, virtual reality and lean management long before these became standard in the industry. “We also work exclusively with the best in the industry when it comes to transport logistics and on-site assembly and always have our own experts on site for quality assurance purposes,” explains Chief Sales Officer Corrado Tona.
In the press release, CEO Slamanig also refers to the plans announced last year for an extension in Inwil. A modular concept is to be implemented here to create space for more employees, additional production capacity, research and co-working. Obrist interior is currently in the final of the Swiss Venture Club‘s Prix Zentralschweiz 2025 together with four other companies.
