On Friday, 22 September, smzh ag opened its fifth location - right in the centre of Bern, at Kornhausplatz 14.
The modern branch in the style of an historical building was presented the day before with more than 130 partners and invited guests. This milestone means an important anchoring for smzh ag in the Bern region, and clearly underlines the successful growth course of recent years.
After smzh welcomed the guests in Bern and toasted the opening, the guests went to the nearby "Chübu", as it is called by Bernese people. The landmark of the city on the Aare is officially known as the Kornhauskeller restaurant, and its impressive interior architecture alone is enough to impress guests. The subsequent dinner was accompanied by live music and, as a highlight, a reading by Daniel Eckmann. The author is a lecturer at the University of Bern and was previously Deputy Director General of the SRG, as well as Delegate for Communication of the Federal Council and Federal President Kaspar Villiger. His book «Augenblicke - Momente mit einem gewissen Etwas» (Moments - Moments with a certain something) is considered a firework of thoughts on events on the world stage and also everyday life and deals with the cornerstone of all action - humanity. Several quotes from the book were linked to the successful development of the smzh in a humorous and amusing way and inspired the guests as well as the smzh team.
The following day, smzh ag opened its doors to all interested parties as part of an open day. From 4 pm, customers and partners were invited to celebrate this important moment with smzh ag in the new facilities and used this as an opportunity for an interesting exchange.
