SWISSto12 Continues Expansion
Grows Staff by 25 Percent, Adds Production Space
In pursuit of its global expansion efforts, SWISSto12 has welcomed several new Satcom engineering experts to its growing team, which has increased by 25% since the start of 2024. The company now employs over 125 employees working across its facilities in Switzerland, Europe and the U.S.
“SWISSto12 is continuing to scale in order to meet exceptional customer demand for our Radio Frequency subsystems and HummingSat."

At the same time, the company has secured additional production space at its headquarters in Switzerland, increasing the size of its existing site to 62,000 square feet.
SWISSto12 was recently named as one of the world’s '10 Hottest Satellite Companies'. This industry recognition follows the company’s announcement in Q4 2023 of securing over €200 million (≈$217 million) in customer orders for Radio Frequency subsystems and HummingSat satellites, including from leading satellite operators Inmarsat (Viasat) and Intelsat.
Industry veteran Peter Bach Andersen started working with the SWISSto12 team in November 2023 along with colleagues based out of Denmark. Peter Bach Anderson previously spent eleven years at Cobham Satcom in Kongens Lyngby, Denmark where he led the development of new RF, Microwave and Antenna technologies.
“Denmark is a world-renowned hub for aerospace and SatCom engineering," said Peter Bach Andersen, Principal SatCom Systems Engineer. "SWISSto12 has started to partner with a number of significant experts in the local area across Radio Frequency engineering and development roles and I look forward to collaborating with Swissto12 on their exciting Satcom projects.”
“SWISSto12 is continuing to scale in order to meet exceptional customer demand for our Radio Frequency subsystems and HummingSat – the first commercial GEO SmallSat," said Emile de Rijk, CEO of SWISSto12. "In Denmark, we have access to one of Europe’s leading aerospace and SatCom engineering talent pools. The addition of new production space and a new additional cleanroom to our Renens headquarters is further accelerating our mission to industrialize and scale our product lines and production capabilities.”
