Andreas Hauswirth

Andreas Hauswirth is a 71-year-old retired lawyer and a prominent figure in the small Swiss village of Wikon, known for his significant role in local economic and planning issues. Formerly a member of the executive board of the Franke/Artemis Group from 1994 to 2016, he currently serves on the board of directors of Artemis Holding. Hauswirth has gained attention for leading a community effort to ban logistics companies from Wikon, particularly opposing a proposed expansion of a logistics center by Planzer, citing safety concerns for local residents and schoolchildren. His activism reflects a broader tension between local quality of life and the demands of economic development in the region.
