Victorinox

A Story of Swiss Inventiveness

When Karl Elsener first opened a cutlery workshop in 1884 to provide a knife for the Swiss Army, his idea to create a compact tool was revolutionary. What he invented has long become a legend: the Original Swiss Army Knife.

Victorinox's home in Ibach, Switzerland, serves as a sign that not only is their product at the forefront of innovation, but the brand's continued commitment to efficiency, modernisation, and consideration for the environment is a true testament to an overarching company ethos.

A story of Swiss Inventiveness is a short film released globally in 2013 which illustrates Victorinox's commitment to responsible manufacturing, through its innovative production process and the patented recycling programmes.

In less than three minutes the viewer will be immersed in the authenticity that is the Victorinox employee family, and gain an insight into this iconic factory, where generations of families have worked in the past 130 years.

Shot as a short story narrative as told by Yvonne, a factory office employee, viewers are taken on a unique tour of this mysterious and super-efficient Ibach factory. Victorinox produces 120,000 complete units a day from the steel factory, yet miraculously uses the same amount of oil as your average family home.

The viewer will be taken on a journey where we learn of Victorinox's hydroelectric power, its zero waste on steel, and that it recycles cooling water from production to heat 114 homes in Ibach; the heart of Switzerland, otherwise known as 'Swiss Knife Valley'.

Victorinox, an iconic Swiss brand

For its 130th anniversary, Victorinox, the brand behind the legendary Swiss Army knife, greeted TheWATCHES.tv in Ibach in the Canton of Schwiz right in the middle of Switzerland. Mr Carl Elsener, CEO and 5th generation owner of this iconic brand shared with us the spirit and values that are so profound in the daily management and development of the company.

More than 20 years ago, Victorinox introduced timpepieces to its portfolio of products and this now represents 20% of the turnover of the company. So just a few weeks before the introduction of a major new watch (we'll keep you posted), let's find out more about this iconic brand in the postcard scenery of Switzerland.

How the Victorinox Swiss Army Knife is Produced | Victorinox

A tour through the world-famous Swiss Army Knife factory where all knives and tools are made of stainless steel. The factory is located in the heart of Switzerland.

The knife started back in 1884 in the small village of Ibach where it can still be found today.

In 1891 Karl Elsener I establishes the Association of Swiss Master Cutlers. As a result, he is able to deliver the first major supply of soldier’s knives to the Swiss Army.

Since the Victorinox product portfolio has developed greatly and today includes pocket knives, travel gear, cutlery, watches and perfume. Every single product is characterized by the functionality and spirit of innovation of the little red pocket knife.

Victorinox - Swiss Army Knife - Presentation

Presented by Karl Elsener. Victorinox Swiss Army watch manufacture in Ibach.

In 1897 the Original Swiss Army Knife was created in the small village of Ibach, Switzerland. Since that time, Victorinox has become well-known in more than 100 countries for precision, quality, functionality and versatility. This century old heritage has been extended to Swiss Army Watches, which reflect the ingenious design and outstanding durability Victorinox has come to stand for over the years. Uncompromising craftsmanship makes these watches worthy to carry the cross and shield emblem that symbolizes the legend of Victorinox and the Swiss Army Brand.
Whether you're going around the corner or around the globe, classically styled Swiss Army watches will make sure that you're equipped for life's adventures. No matter what those adventures might be.
The VICTORINOX Swiss Army Knife is over 100 Years Old. This useful pocket Multi-Tool was legally registered on June 12, 1897. Over 34,000 of these pocket tools with the distinctive Swiss cross leave the factory in central Switzerland each day. Ninety per cent are for export to over 100 different countries and serve as ambassadors for Switzerland.
Karl Elsener, the company founder, wanted to create work in sparsely industrialized central Switzerland and counter the emigration spawned by unemployment. To go from hand-crafting to industrial production was at the time adventurous and required enormous determination. Today, this family business in Schwyz provides 950 jobs.
After the soldier's knife, which every recruit receives upon entering the army, Karl Elsener developed a new, elegant and light weight pocket knife, with six practical tools. He called this new model the Officers and Sports Knife.
After an unparalleled success story around the world, the VICTORINOX Swiss Army Knife is even orbiting the earth as part of the standard equipment of the Space Shuttle Crew. The knife has also been successfully proven on expeditions: in the arctic ice of the North Pole; on the highest peak on earth, Mount Everest; in the tropical rain forests of the Amazon, and elsewhere. Time and again, it has been a life saver in situations of extreme danger and great need. The New York Museum of Modern Art and the State Museum for Applied Art in Munich have selected it for their collection of excellence in design, and, since Lyndon B. Johnson, US presidents present guests with VICTORINOX pocket knives.
Today, the Officers' Knife is available in over 100 different models. Each knife must undergo seamless quality controls before being released for sale.
