Statements

Remo Lütolf

Managing Director ABB Switzerland

"The history of Swiss rail traffic is inextricably linked to ABB's leading edge technologies – from the Gotthard rail network to the Gotthard Base Tunnel. This project of the century represents entrepreneurial spirit, innovation and quality. All of these values are embodied by ABB."

Alwin Larcher

Project Manager for Large Projects, Local Business Unit Process Industries

"Overall this is a great success story for ABB. And as a Swiss national, I am naturally proud to have contributed to this construction project of the century."

Marcel Rüfenacht

Head of Local Business Unit Medium Voltage Products

"Starting with preliminary geological investigations in the early nineties, my father was one of the first participants in the Gotthard Base Tunnel project. I never expected that one day I too would be part of the team that would finally complete the power supply for the construction project. The technology installed will provide reliable power for generations to come."

Guido Huser

Head of Profit Center, Local Business Unit Medium Voltage Products

"The technical requirements were high – so I am particularly pleased with the success of this unique project. The team’s implementation was efficient and flawless. After the last piece of equipment was delivered, we were able to celebrate the successful completion."

Felix Behringer

Head of Service & Retrofit, Local Business Unit Medium Voltage Products

"In a future service call, we will make every effort to ensure greatest customer satisfaction.
This primarily means that we are consistently complying with quality requirements and deadlines. We are preparing our service team as best as possible for it."

Beat Jenni

Key Account Manager SBB Infrastructure

"SBB is a key customer, who wants innovative solutions and presses ahead purposefully. Our ultimate goal is to satisfy these requirements. We appreciate the constructive cooperation on all levels and are proud of the several interesting and significant SBB projects, in which ABB can contribute - such as the Gotthard Base Tunnel."

Ralf Roesch

Senior Project Manager, Local Business Unit Control Technologies

"I have been working for more than twenty years for ABB in the tunnel sector. But for me the Gotthard Base Tunnel is a project that can be experienced only once. My passion and my commitment were accordingly high.
Everyone in our team has realized that they are working on something special."
