100 years of Franke: four entrepreneurs – two families – a Swiss success story

What began 100 years ago as the “Spenglerei Hermann Franke (plumber’s workshop)” in Rorschach (SG) is today – three generations later – a global Swiss company group comprising 70 companies and around 11,000 employees. Franke, whose products are used in more than 100 million household kitchens, is entering into a close cooperation with the Eidgenössischen Technischen Hochschule Zürich (ETH Zürich: Swiss Federal Institute of Technology Zurich) on its 100th birthday. In addition to the award of two scholarships, the “Franke – ETH Zurich Excellence Scholarships”, the company is also supporting the Strategic Fund of the ETH Zurich. Several festivities are also planned, including an event for domestic and foreign guests in Lucerne and an employee event at Franke’s headquarters in Aarburg.
