Industrial automation in Geneva and the Lake Geneva basin.

Geneva concentrates R&D, high-end watchmaking, pharma and commodities trading. Vanguard Systems serves the canton's industrial sites from its Lausanne base (40 minutes), for short or long missions, directly or as integrator subcontractor.

Regional context

The industrial fabric of Geneva

The canton of Geneva hosts major pharma sites (Plan-les-Ouates area with ABB and other industrial players), a dense watchmaking and microtechnology fabric, and applied R&D centers. Regulatory constraints are equivalent to the rest of French-speaking Switzerland, with strong attention to confidentiality (proprietary R&D, pre-commercial prototypes).

Vanguard Systems is based in Le Mont-sur-Lausanne, 40 minutes by car or 35 minutes by train from Geneva city center via the frequent Lausanne-Geneva connections.
