28 January 2016
The anniversary motto "100 Years Ahead" captures the pioneering spirit and innovative drive that have marked out the MCH Group since it was founded as the Swiss Sample Fair a hundred years ago. On 15 July 1916, when the government of the canton of Basel-Stadt gave its consent for a "Swiss Sample Fair" to be staged in 1917, the foundation stone was laid for the internationally successful company group of today.
