40 years of SCHURTER in the USA

In 1982, Bruno Schurter, grandson of the company's founder Heinrich Schurter, launched the distribution company SCHURTER Inc in California. He was a mere 30 years old at the time. Bruno Schurter had the chance to live the "American Dream", as he himself says today. Let's take a look back at this dream.

Bruno Schurter was in the right place at the right time. Silicon Valley, the southern part of the San Francisco Bay Area, was in full bloom. In the 1960s and 1970s, the first high-tech companies settled in the immediate neighborhood of Stanford University.
