Kummli Talk at Passione Engadina

Decision-makers meet decision-makers: This is the motto of the entrepreneur network MCT-KUMMLI, founded by Rolf Kummli and today continued by his daughter Michelle Rütti-Kummli. The network has become known throughout the country, for example, with the twice-yearly entrepreneurial forum KNOW HOW PLACE in Sempach. The idea: to network decision-makers from SMEs to global players at exclusive events - by personal invitation. In addition to the above-mentioned events in Sempach, MCT-KUMMLI also organizes smaller events throughout the year, the so-called "Kummli-Talks". Participants are regularly invited to companies with which the network maintains mutually beneficial partnerships.

Under the sign of Maserati

With this in mind, a good dozen decision-makers met for another "Kummli Talk" on August 26, exclusively at the Passione Engadina in St.Moritz. This visit was made possible by MCT-KUMMLI's long-standing partnership with Maserati Switzerland. Maserati was this year's main sponsor of the traditional meeting of old- and youngtimers of Italian provenance, which was held for the seventh time in the Upper Engadine. Fans and drivers of historic vehicles from Lancia, Alfa Romeo, Fiat and, of course, from the noble brands such as Ferrari and Maserati celebrated a weekend full of Italian lifestyle. Maserati in particular is a good example of this "Italianità": some people immediately associate the brand with names like Bora, Ghibli or Khamsin. These models, built in the 1960s and 1970s, are considered by many to be among the most beautiful sports cars ever built. In fact, Maserati has always been able to secure the collaboration of renowned Italian constructors and designers: Vignale, Bertone or also Pininfarina are to be mentioned here. However, other automotive connoisseurs also see the long-standing problems that the House of Maserati has had. Especially in the 1980s, the name did not necessarily stand for high production quality and operational reliability. Tempi passati: Since Fiat and Ferrari took the brand under their wings in 1994, things have been looking up again. Today, Maserati is a force to be reckoned with in the high-performance sports car segment.

Networking in a small but nice setting

The participants of MCT-KUMMLI learned this at first hand. Under the guidance of Piergiorgio Cecco, Country Manager DACH, they received a lot of interesting and detailed information about this cult brand. Last but not least, they were also allowed to extensively test drive some of the current Maserati models - an opportunity that was, of course, gladly taken.

In St.Moritz, however, it was not just about cars. The "Kummli Talk" offered an excellent opportunity to talk about work, business and hobbies in an informal setting. This is an opportunity that is rarely found at large SME events - the Kummli family's claim to ensure a "hand-picked" mix of industries and participants at their events guarantees this.
