Nüssli Gruppe (ESAF)
For over 80 years, the NUSSLI Group has been helping to ensure that emotions can be experienced up close at sports, cultural and business projects all over the world. For example, the Thurgau-based company NUSSLI realised the national pavilions of Switzerland, Austria, Uzbekistan, Brazil and Kuwait at the current World Expo in Osaka, built the stadium for the Swiss Wrestling and Alpine Festival Glarnerland in Mollis and was responsible for various temporary stadiums at the Olympic Games. From a Swiss family business to the world's leading event and construction service provider - but how did NUSSLI actually become a global player? Find out at this exclusive SMG meeting. Join us on a unique foray live on site at the 2025 Swiss Wrestling Festival in Glarus. Experience first-hand how complex event infrastructures are realised under time pressure and discover the secrets of success of a traditional Swiss brand.
