Switzerland<br />
Although the Alps (and the Swiss ski industry) are spread geographically across<br />
Switzerland, the cableways manufacturing industry is most heavily concentrated in<br />
the North East of the country close to the borders with Germany and Austria (as<br />
illustrated in Figure 2.6). Interestingly, few companies are located in the South and<br />
West of Switzerland in areas bordering France and Italy. However, as an example,<br />
Baco is located in Steffisburg and as such is not shown on the map as it is not located<br />
in the North East of the country. Large manufacturers are located in North East<br />
Switzerland, as are manufacturers of subsystems such as wire ropes, cabins and<br />
control systems. From this location manufacturers have relatively quick and easy<br />
access to the cableways markets within the West of Austria (which has a large number<br />
of ski resorts) as well as the South of Germany; however this location inhibits access<br />
to the Alps of France and also Italy. Table 2.25 lists some of the companies involved<br />
in the cableways industry which are located in the North East of Switzerland, however<br />
this list is not exclusive. Figure 2.6 illustrates the locations of these companies in<br />
relation to each other and also within the geography of Europe.<br />
