EHEDG Switzerland

It is one of the objectives of the EHEDG Regional Section
Switzerland to promulgate the knowledge on “Hygienic
Design” in Switzerland. Shortly after the foundation of
the Regional Section, the Regional Committee agreed on
following this objective by organising at least one seminar on
“Hygienic Design” every year.
One seminar was organised in 2010 at the biggest Swiss
brewery “Feldschlösschen” belonging to the Carlsberg
Group. More than 100 participants from three different
countries came to enjoy six presentations on different topics
related to “Hygienic Design” and of course also to participate
in the brewery tour offered by “Feldschlösschen”.
The 2011 seminar was hosted by “Bühler AG” in Switzerland.
Our host is the biggest food machinery manufacturer in
Switzerland and also a company member of EHEDG. About
90 people joined this seminar to listen to six speakers coming
from different food business related fields.
It has to be mentioned that the EHEDG received great support
from “Feldschlössen” and “Bühler” when they were hosting
our seminars. Nevertheless it also has to be mentioned that
the organisation of each seminar was a big effort for our
small Regional Committee. People have worked hard to put
the programs together and to find the right speakers and
topics ensuring interesting and attractive lectures.
The financial success of these seminars made it possible
to give a direct financial support to the work of the EHEDG
Subgroup “Cleaning Validation” which is headed by
Dr. Rudolf Schmitt from the “University of Applied Sciences
Western Switzerland” who also acts as the Chairman of the
Regional Section.
The next milestone of the development of this Regional
Section was the completion and enhancement of the
Regional Committee during the general assembly in 2012. A
total of nine persons from different industries are now going
to ensure that the successful work will continue. Thank you
very much to all companies and people who have supported
the work of the Regional Section Switzerland during the past
two years. We can be proud that this “just” 4 year old section
is already such a success story!
