Schaffhausen - the prime location for international headquarters and high-tech-businesses.
The benefits of being based in Schaffhausen have long been recognized by a host of international corporations. The list of familiar names which have moved to Schaffhausen includes Tyco, Accenture, Tektronix, Cabot, Suntech, Convatec, Covidien, Timberland, John Deere, Citrix, DSM, Terex, OBI, Ashland, Kennametal and Unilever.
These businesses recognized the attractions which Schaffhausen has to offer: exceptional all-round quality of life , proximity to Zurich’s international airport, easily-accessible and pro-business local government, attractive cost of living for individuals and a low cost operating and real-estate environment for businesses by comparison with the rest of the Greater Zurich Area. Add to those tangible benefits a tax regime which respects businesses and provides innovative international tax-planning options and you get an unsurpassed mix of compelling arguments for moving your business here.
What’s more: thanks to our location right on the border to Germany, businesses here can draw on a pool of additional labor from neighboring Southern Germany as well as from other areas of Switzerland.
