Zurich (PRWEB) October 26, 2011

Hamilton Company has been named this year’s winner of the Tell Award in the category ‘most significant manufacturing investment’. Global healthcare company Abbott, the Canadian Bombardier (who opened its MITRAC Powerlab for locomotive and high power propulsion in Zurich in 2009), and life science and high-tech company Sigma-Aldrich also receive a Tell Award.

A global leader in laboratory automation and sensory technology for precision fluid measuring, Greater Zurich Area-based Hamilton Bonaduz has been developing and manufacturing precision and medical technology products in the Swiss town of Bonaduz since 1966. In 2009 Hamilton Bonaduz opened a new development and manufacturing facility, adding 150 new jobs and bringing the total number of employees to 750 today.

Named after the national hero Wilhelm Tell, the Tell Awards are an annual celebration of the most significant inward investment projects by North American companies in Switzerland. They are sponsored and organized by the Swiss Embassy in the United States and Swiss Trade and Investment Promotion (STIP).

The winners are presented with the Tell Award on October 26th in the Swiss Embassy in Washington DC by Switzerland’s Ambassador to the U.S., H.E. Manuel Sager. Past awardees for the Greater Zurich Area have included companies such as Disney, IBM, Microsoft, and Google.

Andreas Wieland, CEO, Hamilton Bonaduz AG said: “We are very excited about receiving the Tell Award honoring our commitment to Switzerland and our investment in Grisons. The canton of Grisons is an ideal business location within the Greater Zurich Area due to an attractive tax and real estate climate while only about 80 minutes from Zurich Airport. Top-quality education at universities and research institutes in the Greater Zurich Area and the fact that our staff works in a pristinely beautiful region where others chose to spend their vacation has significantly helped our recruiting efforts over the years. The entire region is ideal for innovative companies specializing in precision technologies – and that is why we are committed to it since 1966.”

Sonja Wollkopf Walt, Managing Director Greater Zurich Area AG added: “Congratulations to Hamilton Company and Hamilton Bonaduz for this well-deserved Tell Award. With the successful expansion of its manufacturing facilities in 2009, Hamilton Bonaduz has made it very clear that the business location Greater Zurich Area offers a great package to highly specialized precision technology companies and is second to none when it comes to weathering a global economic downturn.”

Daniel Capaul, Manager Economic Development/Regional Marketing, Canton of Grisons: “We are very pleased with the Tell Award for Hamilton. With its sustained growth and expansion, e.g. with a recently launched online shop for its high-quality medtech products, Hamilton is a prime example of an international high-tech corporation successfully setting up manufacturing and development operations in the canton of Grisons.”

Washington (PRWEB) November 01, 2011

The American Resort Development Association (ARDA) is partnering with its members to bring the passion of owners to other vacationers through its “Timeshare Fans” Program. These Fans will explain – in their own words – why they love their timeshare.

“My kids have enjoyed our timeshare and now they are bringing their kids to enjoy it,” said Kirkwood Edwards, Holiday Inn Club Vacations®. “I think this is the way it’s supposed to be.”

And so do nearly 8 million timeshare owners. The American Resort Development Association (ARDA) is partnering with its members to bring the passion of owners to other vacationers through its “Timeshare Fans” Program. These Fans will explain – in their own words – why they love their timeshare.

The program will showcase owners from different resorts each month – through video, photos and blogs – to bring a clear picture of what timeshare offers and why it truly is a better way to vacation. In this kick-off month, Holiday Inn Club Vacations spoke to several of its owners at its Orange Lake Resort in Orlando, Florida. One couple, Constance and Kirkwood Edwards, from Freeport, Bahamas, have been owners for 17 years and vacation annually with their family in Orlando.

“Coming to this resort is a vacation within itself; you never have to leave the property,” said Constance Edwards. “We love the vast amenities, like the pools, clubhouse, fitness center and game room.”

With a satisfaction rate of 85 percent and an occupancy rate that outpaced hotel occupancy by more than 20 percent*, it is clear that this segment of the travel industry is faring well. Take the time to find out why. Visit http://www.VacationBetter.org for more information.

Next month, look for happy owners from Hilton Grand Vacations who are passionate about their timeshare. All timeshare fans are invited to tell their story here.

About Timeshare

Timeshare and vacation ownership are often used as interchangeable terms. Timeshare may be purchased through deeded property ownership, right-to-use or a points-based program. Owners purchase a villa, usually in one-week increments, within a fixed (same week each year) or “floating” system. Floating time allows the owner to schedule each year’s vacation for the desired week within a specified season. Vacation ownership may also be used to describe the three main options of shared use: timeshare, fractionals, and private residence clubs.

*State of the Vacation Timeshare Industry Study 2011, conducted by Ernst & Young LLP.
