A year earlier, the organising committee had wanted to book the Christmas dinner on a boat on Lake Zurich. However, due to high demand, the desired date was fully booked. This made the organising committee all the more excited for this year. Under the motto ‘KYBURZ Ahoy’, the team planned an unforgettable evening on the Panta Rhei.

"The five of us, plus photographer Jeton, were allowed to board the Panta Rhei at the Wollishofen shipyard. We were given a very warm welcome and were able to move around the ship freely. We decorated the beautifully prepared tables with a few Christmas touches and waited at Bürkliplatz for our colleagues to come on board. In the meantime, Fillo (the sixth OK member) welcomed the employees at Bürkliplatz.

To create a good atmosphere on board right from the start, we handed out fun accessories such as reindeer ears, Santa hats, Christmas tree glasses and Rudolph ties as everyone came on board. The crew of the Panta Rhei also provided excellent service. The four-course menu was carefully prepared and served. Compliments – everything went wonderfully."

KYBURZ would like to thank Zürichsee-Schifffahrtsgesellschaft AG for this great event. The organising committee is already collecting ideas for next year.

Several times a year, KYBURZ Switzerland AG trains the technicians of our service partners. This ensures that they are well prepared and can provide our customers with reliable service at all times.

A new service partner of Swiss Post recently took part in such a training course. The focus was on mechanics, electronics, diagnostics and administrative processes.

In theory and practice, participants learned how to handle mechanical assemblies safely, understand electrical systems and perform structured troubleshooting. In addition, the necessary administrative processes were taught so that orders can be processed correctly and efficiently.

With these regular training courses, we ensure that our partners have highly trained technicians who deliver the high quality of service our customers have come to expect.

Over the past few months, Südwest Presse Logistik GmbH has been testing various delivery vehicles in daily use – under real conditions, directly with the delivery drivers. We are naturally delighted with the result: our DXS has emerged as the most impressive vehicle by a clear margin.

The DXS combines high payload, range and manoeuvrability with very low operating costs. It is precisely this combination that is crucial for ensuring economical delivery, even in times of declining print runs. Drivers quickly came to appreciate the vehicle – above all because of its comfortable entry, intuitive operation and safe driving characteristics.

We are delighted that we can make an important contribution to the future of regional newspaper delivery. After all, a diverse newspaper landscape remains an indispensable part of our democratic society.

We would like to express our sincere thanks for the trust placed in us and look forward to continuing our successful cooperation.

China continues to set the global standard in LFP battery technology. The industry there has a fully integrated value chain, from raw material processing to cell and module production. This structure enables stable supply chains, high quality standards and continuous innovation that sets the global benchmark.

In order to make the most of this technological advantage for KYBURZ, we have maintained a close relationship with our most important cell supplier, CATL, for many years. In November 2025, Stefan Breu and Olivier Groux travelled to Ningde to intensify direct exchanges, gain technological insights and deepen joint projects.

For a Swiss SME, access to a global market leader such as CATL is not a matter of course. Personal meetings and regular exchanges are crucial for building trust, understanding developments at an early stage and ensuring that KYBURZ can continue to benefit from the latest advances in LFP technology in the future.

Despite the busy technical programme, there was also time for small culinary adventures. On business trips to China, it is part of the experience to push boundaries not only technologically, but sometimes also in terms of taste. This year, among other things, sea cucumber was on the menu, visually challenging, but in terms of taste... let's just say: an experience to remember.

Moments like these ensure that we strengthen our partnerships not only professionally, but also on a personal level.
