ifolor creates unforgettable moments at the Kreuzlingen city festival
At the 75th anniversary of the Kreuzlingen city festival, ifolor is treating guests to unique memories with special attractions. For the family business based in Kreuzlingen, supporting the city festival is a matter close to its heart.
Under the motto “From Kreuzlingen for Kreuzlingen”, the city on Lake Constance is celebrating 75 years of city rights at the Kreuzlingen city festival from 1 to 3 July 2022. In keeping with this motto, ifolor is helping to make the city festival an unforgettable experience for visitors by partially sponsoring a 140-metre-long water slide, a deckchair area and sun caps. The slide spectacle, where festival visitors can glide down a gigantic water slide on large rubber rings, takes place on Pestalozzistrasse. For those who do not want to get wet, ifolor deckchairs around the water slide invite them to linger. Admission to the city festival is free.
Inseparably connected with Kreuzlingen
“Active participation in the city festival is a matter close to ifolor’s heart,” says Hannes Schwarz, CEO of ifolor. Just 14 years after Kreuzlingen received its city rights, the company was founded in 1961 by his grandfather under the name “Photocolor Kreuzlingen AG”. To this day, ifolor’s headquarters and production are located on Lake Constance. “Like Kreuzlingen itself, ifolor is a success story that residents can be proud of,” says Schwarz. The family business employs 130 people in Kreuzlingen and is valued as an attractive employer in the region.
From Kreuzlingen to the world with a pioneering spirit
Throughout its more than 60-year company history, ifolor has always combined tradition with innovation. In 1968, it was one of the first photo labs to deliver photos to customers’ homes on request. With its entry into online business in 2000 and the launch of individually customisable photo books in 2005, the company finally secured its pioneering role in the photography industry. In 2017, Apple became aware of the family business and integrated it into the Apple “Photos” app as one of only four third-party photo book providers. Today, statistically speaking, an ifolor product can be found in every second household not only in Switzerland. The company is also the market leader in Finland. In addition, ifolor operates successfully in thirteen other countries and employs around 250 people worldwide. With annual revenue of over CHF 100 million, the Kreuzlingen-based family business is one of the 30 highest-grossing e-commerce companies in Switzerland.
