From a technological point of view, Swiss manufacturing is mostly a traditional industry, while the semiconductor industry in the Netherlands belongs to cutting-edge technology, especially ASML's EUV lithography technology, which is irreplaceable. However, the Netherlands has only one ASML, while Switzerland in each industry, there are multiple companies involved, forming an overall leading edge. Like the precision machine tool industry, Starrag's machines can process most parts of an aero-engine. In Switzerland, there are many other precision machine tool companies like Starrag, most of which are small and medium-sized enterprises.
In the field of machinery and electronic equipment, Switzerland also has many world-class enterprises, such as industrial robotics company ABB Group, precision machine tool manufacturer Starrag, the leading brand of elevator Schindler, and medical rehabilitation equipment companies such as HOCOMA. As for Swiss precision instruments and watches, they are masterpieces of exquisite craftsmanship and have become symbols of high-end quality. Overall, the leading edge of Swiss manufacturing is more obvious, industrial competitiveness is stronger, and there are more international leading enterprises and brands.
