FELCO is proud to share that Nabil Francis, CEO of FELCO, has been selected by Le Temps as one of the 100 personalities shaping French-speaking Switzerland in 2026.
This distinction shines a light on the values that have guided FELCO for more than 80 years: Swiss manufacturing, industrial excellence, innovation, and a commitment to creating products that last.
Le Temps titled its portrait “The Soul of the Pruning Shear” recognizing his passion for an industry where tradition, innovation, and long-term vision go hand in hand. It is a passion shared throughout FELCO, where quality, precision, durability, and continuous improvement guide every decision.
At a time when many products are designed to be replaced, FELCO remains committed to a different philosophy: creating tools that are built to last, maintained over time, repaired rather than discarded, and passed on from one generation to the next. This approach reflects not only our commitment to sustainability, but also our determination to preserve industrial know-how, skilled jobs, and manufacturing excellence in Switzerland.
This recognition is therefore a tribute to the entire FELCO team and to the many Swiss industrial companies that continue to innovate, manufacture, export, and create value from Switzerland.
We warmly congratulate Nabil on this achievement and thank all our employees, partners, customers, and ambassadors who help keep Swiss know-how alive and thriving around the world.
Together, we continue to prove that Swiss manufacturing, craftsmanship, and sustainability have a bright future.
