The company history of the family business egli jona ag
Walter Egli founded Egli Gartenbau AG Stäfa in 1946. Walter and Heidi Egli had five sons, all of whom learnt the gardening trade. Sons Walter (junior) and Ueli took over the management of the company, as the three younger brothers were still in training at the time.
In 1977, Ueli Egli founded the Egli Gartenbau AG Wagen branch on the upper end of Lake Zurich. 15 years later, the branch became an independent public limited company. From 1992, the companies operated with the same corporate identity, but were independent companies. After further healthy years of growth, the office building in Wagen near Jona was built in 1996. A large extension in 1998 expanded the infrastructure of Egli Gartenbau AG Wagen. The company also moved into a warehouse on the industrial site in Jona for its staff, vehicles and machinery.
On 1 January 2006, Egli Gartenbau AG Wagen is given a new face and a new name. egli jona ag enters the future with a fresh and innovative image. In June, the company moves into the newly built warehouse with integrated offices on the industrial site in Jona.
Ueli Egli and Sandra Egli have three children, all of whom are also learning the „green profession“. With Christian Egli and Daniel Egli, the 3rd generation of the gardening family took over the reins at egli jona ag on 10 October 2010. Their father Ueli Egli will continue to provide advice and support as Chairman of the Board of Directors.
Since 2021, we have also been ISO-certified in the areas of quality management and environmental management (ISO 9001, ISO 14001).
