Founded in 1922, Autophon AG shaped Swiss telecommunications history for decades and employed around 6,000 people in 1986. With the merger of Autophon, Hasler, Zellweger, and Gfeller into Ascom AG, the largest telecommunications group in Switzerland at the time was formed in 1987. To honor this significant company history and promote the exchange among former Autophon employees, we warmly invite you to the Autophon Day.
