Did the name Fällanderglas ever tinkle in your ear? Here in Fällanden, nestled in the Glatt Valley, a small industrial district hums with activity. Fällanden isn’t just a quaint municipality in the district of Uster, canton of Zurich. It boasts a history dating back to around 820 AD, when it was known as Fenichlanda. Look around. This area, with its mix of agriculture, forests, and settlements, has seen centuries of growth and change. Fällanden stands on the northeast slope of the Pfannenstiel mountain chain, near Greifensee lake. Imagine the community growing from the small village of Fällanden to encompass the settlements of Benglen, Pfaffhausen, and Neuhausen. Fällanden might seem unassuming. Yet, it’s home to Bruker, a major player in medical NMR scanners and related devices. This company has roots in the Swiss Trüb-Täuber company, acquired by Bruker in 1964. Another notable presence is Bucher Leichtbau AG, specializing in aircraft interiors and medical equipment. They produce seats, tables, and lockers for airplanes and medical facilities. Fällanden even has its connection to the power grid, with the 120 km, 380 kV Sils-Fällanden power line terminating nearby. This blend of old and new, industry and nature, is what makes Fällanden unique. It’s a place where the echoes of history meet the hum of innovation, a testament to Switzerland’s dynamic spirit.
