The name Lucerne enjoys a global reputation – and rightly so. Global players such as Schmolz + Bickenbach or Schurter, but also regional subsidiaries of large international companies such as MSD, Merck, Edwards, Corning and JT International, have their headquarters here. They take advantage of the first-rate business friendly environment when it comes to jobs, labor and safe structures and also take advantage of the low corporate tax rate.
