The company history of the Familine company egli jona ag
Walter Egli founded Egli Gartenbau AG Stäfa in 1946. Walter and Heidi Egli had five sons, all of whom learned 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 for its staff and its fleet of vehicles and machinery on the industrial site in Jona.
On 01.01.2006, Egli Gartenbau AG Wagen gets 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 trade". With Christian Egli and Daniel Egli, the 3rd generation of the gardening family took over the reins at egli jona ag on October 10, 2010.
