A traditional company shifts its focus to innovation
When Annette Heimlicher speaks, she sounds just as you would expect of a charismatic and dynamic leader of a global technology company: she brims with energy, puts complex concepts into simple words, and is full of laughter. Heimlicher has retained her youthful charm. Just over ten years ago, at the age of 35, she took over from her father at the helm of Contrinex, a manufacturer of intelligent industrial sensors. Since then, she has been the driving force behind the innovative family business from the canton of Fribourg.
