Official Opening of Our New Headquarters in Switzerland
The event marked the latest chapter in our European expansion, celebrating teamwork and innovation across the JFC Group.
We were proud to officially open our new state-of-the-art JFC Diamond Tools headquarters in Elsau Switzerland: A €5.65 million investment that makes an important milestone in JFC Group’s continued international growth.
The new facility strengthens our European presence, supports future innovation, and allows us to deliver even greater value to our customers worldwide.
JFC Group CEO, John F. Concannon, and Director, Patricia Concannon, welcomed guests and partners from Ireland and Switzerland to mark the occasion. Among those in attendance were Maria Walsh (MEP), Aoife McGarry (Ambassador of Ireland to Switzerland), David McDonnell (Embassy of Ireland), and Daniel Schmid (Municipal President of Elsau).
The day featured a series of speeches and presentations, followed by a ceremonial ribbon cutting, where Patricia Concannon was joined by Maria Walsh and Aoife McGarry to officially open the site. A symbolic presentation of a ceremonial key and shared dinner concluded the celebrations.
Our new site will serve as the home of Fuhrer+Bachmann AG, a JFC Group distributor branch, specialising in the design and production of precision diamond tools for the construction and industrial sectors. With over 60 years of experience, the Fuhrer+ Bachmann team plays a vital role in our growth story and ability to serve customers across Europe.
We would like to extend a special thanks to our colleagues in Switzerland who worked tirelessly behind the scenes to make the day such a success – including Javier Gomez (former Fuhrer+Bachmann AG Managing Director), Nicolas Vermeulen (MD, JFC Diamond Tools), Fernando Vila Nova (Sales Manager, Fuhrer+Bachmann AG), Dino Softic (MD, Fuhrer+Bachmann AG) Carmen Raschle (Accountant, Fuhrer+Bachmann AG), and Shane Conlisk (Director, JFC Group). Their hard work and dedication reflect the teamwork that drives our success across every part of the group.
This opening is another reminder of what drives us forward: innovation, quality, and relationships we’ve built over nearly four decades in business. We’re excited for what lies ahead and proud of the foundation the new site represents for the years to come.
