INTERVIEW WITH MATHIAS SCHNEIDER,
HEAD OF ASSEMBLY

INSIGHT INTO THE ASSEMBLY

WHY DO YOU WORK AT KUHN RIKON?
Because almost 30 years ago, my mother put a job advertisement from Kuhn Rikon on my desk, telling me how good an employer they were. And after more than 28 years at Kuhn Rikon, I can only agree. Top team, top products, top employer.

YOU ARE HEAD OF ASSEMBLY. WHAT ARE YOUR TEAM’S RESPONSIBILITIES?

  • We assemble and pack Swiss-made products such as DUROMATIC®, DUROTHERM® and various cookware.

  • We also assemble batches such as cheese fondue, frying pan and HOTPAN® sets.

  • And we pack countless maintenance parts such as rubber rings, valve parts and grips.

All of this on schedule and in the desired quantity whenever possible, according to forecast and fixed orders.
 

WHICH KUHN RIKON PRODUCT DO YOU USE MOST AT HOME?
Without a doubt the RELAX Power Steamer, as it allows for quick preparation of vegetables, potatoes and delicious risottos. But I also use the Silver Star and New Life frying pans almost everyday.
 

WHAT DO YOU ENJOY DOING AFTER WORK?

I love watching films. Dramas, thrillers, love stories or action films depending on my mood.

Here’s my top five:

  1. Legends of the Fall
  2. Fracture
  3. The Last of the Mohicans
  4. Law Abiding Citizen
  5. The Longest Ride


HOW DO YOU LIKE TO EXPLORE SWITZERLAND?
Together with my wife, walking in hiking boots with backpacks and hiking poles.
