- Trihow Inc: The birth of Trihow AG began over a cold beer and a lively discussion between Beat Knüsel (CEO & Co-Founder) and Patrick Link (Innovation & Co-Founder). In the process, it became increasingly clear to the two of them that although digitization is advancing, it is too much technology-oriented instead of people-oriented. Since then, Trihow has been connecting the analog with the digital world. By interacting with haptic elements, digital content becomes easy to access and experience. Together with their customers, Trihow's 15 employees develop holistic and human-oriented solutions in hybrid spaces: whether in retail, consulting situations or configurations - Trihow makes digitally available content "tangible" and thus brings the customer experience to an amazing new level.
