On 10 June 2026, the 74th General Meeting of the Ugra Association took place. We were delighted to be hosted by our member, Gallus Ferd. Rüesch AG (Gallus Group), in St. Gallen for this year’s event.

Following the official General Meeting, chaired by René Theiler, participants were treated to a varied and industry-relevant supporting programme:

Keynote speech: Jonny Doerig, Head of Product Management at Gallus Ferd. Rüesch AG, shared valuable specialist insights in his well-researched presentation.

Factory tour: During an exclusive tour of the ‘Gallus Experience Centre’, members were able to see the latest technologies and innovations for themselves on site.

Networking: The closing drinks reception provided the perfect setting to discuss the day’s highlights, delve deeper into technical discussions and nurture the industry network.

We would like to extend our sincere thanks to Gallus Ferd. Rüesch AG for the excellent organisation and hospitality provided by Viktoria Kindl and Andreas Larcher, as well as to Jonny Doerig for his fascinating technical input.
