Looking for company addresses in Central Switzerland? Lucerne is the gateway to six cantons, with Schindler, CSS Versicherung and more than 40'000 registered companies in the canton. SwissB2B researches the right B2B contacts for you.
With around 86'000 residents, Lucerne is the economic and cultural centre of Central Switzerland. The city combines its well-known location on Lake Lucerne with a broad economic structure. As the gateway to Central Switzerland, Lucerne is well connected for transport; Lucerne railway station is an important hub, and the planned through line will further improve connections to Zurich.
Lucerne's economy is broader than the city's tourism reputation might suggest. Although Lucerne, with the KKL, Chapel Bridge and Rigi, is one of Switzerland's most visited cities, industry, financial services and education are at least as important for the B2B market. In recent years, the Canton of Lucerne has also established itself as a location for holding companies and trading companies through an attractive tax policy. With a corporate tax rate well below the Swiss average, the canton competes directly with Zug and Schwyz for national and international company headquarters.
Schindler is the region's largest industrial employer. The globally active elevator and escalator manufacturer has its global headquarters in Ebikon near Lucerne, not far from the tax-attractive municipality of Baar in the Canton of Zug, and employs around 2'500 people in Central Switzerland. CSS Versicherung, one of Switzerland's largest health insurers, is headquartered in Lucerne and, with more than 2'700 employees, is another anchor of the local economy. Other major employers include Emmi AG (milk processing, headquartered in Lucerne), Luzerner Kantonalbank and Luzerner Kantonsspital.
Lucerne University of Applied Sciences and Arts (HSLU), with around 8'000 students across six departments, Engineering and Architecture, Business, Computer Science, Social Work, Design and Art, and Music, is an important driver of innovation. The Computer Science and Business departments in Rotkreuz (Canton of Zug) and Lucerne in particular promote knowledge transfer into the local economy. The University of Lucerne complements the educational offering with faculties of law, economics, humanities and health sciences.
Lucerne's role as the centre of Central Switzerland is the most important point for many B2B providers. Many companies in Lucerne serve both the local market and all of Central Switzerland, Schwyz, Obwalden, Nidwalden and Uri. For providers of office technology, IT infrastructure, staffing services and building management, Lucerne is an obvious starting point for regional market development.
The interplay of industry, tourism and services creates diverse supplier chains. Hotels, congress centres and restaurants need partners for food, textiles, cleaning, software and marketing. Messe Luzern and the KKL regularly attract specialist audiences from across Switzerland, creating opportunities for networking and contact building. Proximity to the economic area of Zug, with its low taxes and international trading companies, can open up additional target groups.
Lucerne's business culture is regionally rooted and shaped by personal relationships. In Central Switzerland, people know each other, and recommendations and references carry significant weight. Networking often happens informally, for example at events hosted by the Central Switzerland Chamber of Commerce and Industry or at the traditional Lucerne Festival. Anyone who wants to build business in Lucerne should focus on authenticity and local roots.

In addition to Lucerne city and the Canton of Lucerne, we can provide company addresses from Schwyz, Obwalden and Nidwalden, Uri and the neighbouring Canton of Zug. Many of our customers combine Lucerne with Zug because the economic area is closely interconnected.
Besides Schindler, numerous mid-sized industrial companies are active in the region, such as Bühler (Uzwil, but with suppliers in Central Switzerland), the Komax Group (wire processing, Dierikon), Schurter (electronic components, Lucerne) and various suppliers to elevator and building technology. We can compile these industrial clusters for you as a targeted company list.
