For a strong network

As the newly elected President of the Teufen Trade Association, I am looking forward to representing the interests of our members and actively contributing to the promotion of the local economy. The Teufen Trade Association forms a strong network of committed entrepreneurs who are actively involved in politics and are interested in maintaining Teufen as an attractive location for business.

In addition to my role in the trade association, I bring my own entrepreneurial experience to the table. With my background in strategic marketing and digital service design at the f5agentur, I understand the challenges that SMEs face on a day-to-day basis. This expertise allows me to bring innovative approaches and new perspectives to the table.

The GTV Board: Actuary Monika Hauri, Vice President Kevin Rothmund, Marketing Manager Daniela Fuchs-Koster and Head of Events Heinz Fuchs. They were all confirmed in office - including treasurer Andreas Bleiker (not in the photo).

Invitation to join in

I invite all entrepreneurs in our region to become part of this strong community and to join us in shaping the future of the Teufen Trade Association. Let's stand up together for a business-friendly, sustainable location. You can find more information about the association on the GTV website.

Review of the 2018 trade show

The Gewerbeschau Teufen 2018, under the motto “iischtigä bitte!”, was a great success and attracted around 8,000 visitors. A total of 82 exhibitors presented themselves on the Zeughausplatz, in the Zeughaus and in the Lindensaal. Highlights included the career show for young professionals, a varied stage program and the “Störflä” competition, in which participants were able to stamp their tickets at bus stops. The trade show provided a lively platform for local businesses and the region.

Organizing committee for the 2027 trade show

I am particularly looking forward to working on the major “Gewerbeschau 2027” project with OC President Rafael Schmid from the Schmid Fenster Manufaktur. Our first meeting will take place in April this year and there is a lot to do!

Many thanks to all those who have volunteered and will be working hard for a trade show that will inspire:

Johann Fuchs, Elektro Koller Fuchs
Livia Brunner, Brunner & Partner Immobilien
Roman Ehrbar, Breitenmoser Fleischspezialitäten
Marcel Züst von Züst Bedachungen AG

...and we from the f5agentur :)

Work-life balance and substitution

Our credo in the OC is that we can support each other and also have each other's backs. We also want to be as efficient and expeditious as possible in our meetings, as well as paying attention to our own work-life balance. We will therefore not only meet in the evenings, but also look for lunch dates and plan online meetings.

We are still looking for four people

Are you a member of the Teufen Trade Association, connected to the community or the regional trade? Then get in touch with the OC.

We look forward to seeing you!

Thanks to Timo Züst from the Tüüfner Poscht for the photos.
