Português (pt) Como a Stöckli enfrenta as dificuldades de abastecimento

Skis are made of several layers, each out of a different material, of which some can't be sourced locally. The global pandemic that hit worldwide supply chains had an impact on manufacturing processes in Switzerland too. In Lucerne, where Stöckli skis are made, the production had to be replanned to do with the delayed deliveries.

As fewer skis were sold last year, and prices had already been fixed before the supply chain disruptions, clients won't feel the impact of the rearrangement this season.

Switzerland is an attractive place to work and the country needs specialists. But work permits can be hard to come by.
