Please select your preferred Industry

This quiet lakeside town is located five miles south of Zurich and easily reached by train, boat or car.It has a population of about 16 000 (2003) and is located on the Zimmerberg ridge between the western shore of Lake Zurich and the Sihl river. Thalwil borders on the communes of Rüschlikon, Langnau am Albis, Oberrieden, Horgen and (across the lake) Erlenbach. The Gemeindewappen (communal flag) consists of two diagonally crossed black bulrushes with green stems and leaves on a white background.

Today this industrial past has all but vanished. The economy of Thalwil is mainly supported by a variety of small and medium-sized businesses, many located in the Böhni commercial estate opened in 1971. The most prominent of these is Unisys Switzerland, which is also the largest employer in Thalwil (over 500 jobs). There is also a wide range of shops, mainly located around the Gotthardstrasse.

The main source of Thalwil's current prosperity lies in the large number of commuters (ca 7 000) who live here but work in the economic centres of Greater Zurich. Today Thalwil has mostly left its farming and industrial past behind and become a prime location for commuter living with its excellent transportation links, low tax rate and high quality of life.
