Swissfirms Data SA

The origins of SWISSFIRMS date back to 1976, with the publication of the first edition of the «Fichier industriel romand et tessinois (FIRTI)». Thanks to the publication of this directory, the Chambers of Commerce and Industry of the French and Italian-speaking areas of Switzerland gained valuable experience in the handling and presentation of company information (addresses, information on company structures, etc.). The Chambers of Commerce and Industry of Switzerland were quick to recognize the potential of an electronic version, which they began to publish via Videotex and Minitel as from 1990. The internet version was launched in the autumn of 1995. For more than twenty years, FIRTI served as a valuable tool for the promotion of industrial companies in the French and Italian speaking areas. Over this period, the database was continually extended until it contained not only the addresses of industrial companies but also information on all corporate members of the CCIS, including those in the German-speaking areas. The name FIRTI was dropped in 1997. The new database was given the name SWISSFIRMS. Its main objective was to improve the marketing of its services throughout the country, to the benefit of corporate members of the CCIS.
