World Skills Leipzig 2013
Benedict Haener from Horn had the honor of demonstrating his ability as a goldsmith and officially representing Switzerland at the 2013 edition of the WorldSkills Competition in Leipzig.
This made a big impression on the young goldsmith, who found it interesting to see how each country approaches the work differently and uses different tools. Like him, we are of course very proud of his performance in managing to notch up 7th place, which represents an outstanding achievement given the fierce competition and making him the top European.
We have been sponsoring participants in the goldsmiths' section of these world championships since 2007, supplying them for example with the required technical equipment, which they are subsequently allowed to keep at the end of the contest.
