Regional context
The industrial fabric of Fribourg
Fribourg is an underrated industrial canton in French-speaking Switzerland. It concentrates food & beverage leaders (Micarna in Courtepin, Cremo in Villars-sur-Glâne, Elsa in Estavayer-le-Lac) and world-renowned packaging specialists (Bobst Mex for packaging, Polytype Châtel-Saint-Denis for special machines). Automation challenges are very concrete: cycle time, traceability, IFS/BRC certifications, 20-30 year line retrofit.
