With 1,000 employees, Victorinox is the largest employer in the Canton of Schwyz,

For an unbroken period of more than 100 years Victorinox has been the supplier
of soldiers knives to the Swiss army. After the death of his mother in 1909,
founder Karl Elsener chose her first name, Victoria, as the companys brand
name. When stainless steel was introduced in Ibach following its invention in
1921, the term «Inox» (the international designation for stainless
steel) was added to Victoria, and the present-day brand and company name of Victorinox
was created from the combination of these two words.
