Adrian Steiner becomes new SVC patron in Central Switzerland
The SVC Region Central Switzerland has a new patron for the next Prix SVC award ceremony on May 22, 2025. Thermoplan CEO Adrian Steiner succeeds Franz Steinegger, who held this honorary position from 2015 to 2024.

"It fills me with joy and pride to be the patron of the Prix SVC Central Switzerland. In 2016, I was able to accept this prestigious award myself with Thermoplan - a milestone that recognized our work and our commitment to the economy of Central Switzerland. I have been closely associated with the SVC ever since.
The promotion and appreciation of entrepreneurial achievements is of great importance for Central Switzerland as a business location. I am therefore all the more pleased to help shape the Prix SVC in the future," explains the new SVC patron Adrian Steiner. In this role, he succeeds former FDP President Franz Steinegger and will also become a member of the SVC Honorary Patronage.
Adrian Steiner joined Thermoplan AG in 1998, when the family business in Weggis had just 21 employees, and was subsequently able to develop his career in various positions within the company. Adrian Steiner has been CEO, co-owner and member of the Board of Directors since 2009. Thermoplan AG produces high-quality, fully automatic coffee machines for professional use, which are exported to over 80 countries worldwide.
