Liechtenstein
One of Europe's smallest countries, with the densest concentration of industrial manufacturing per capita on earth. Hilti makes the construction tools running half of Europe's building sites. Ivoclar Vivadent makes the dental materials in your dentist's drawer. Thyssenkrupp Presta makes the steering columns in most European cars.
Quiet, technical, and almost invisible from outside the Rhine Valley. Below: the brands worth knowing.
