Swiss cheesemaker Peter Dörig named Immigrant Entrepreneur of the Year
Published
Swiss-born master cheesemaker Peter Dörig has been named Immigrant Entrepreneur of the Year. The award was announced in a news item published by Yrittäjät, the entrepreneurs' organisation. The award shows that immigrants are important founders and developers of Finnish companies.
The basic idea of Dörig's company is to combine Swiss cheese-making techniques with Finnish cow's milk. The company specialises in producing cheeses, and its products have attracted positive attention. The cheeses are made in Finland from local raw materials, which is one of the company's most important starting points.
According to Yrittäjät, the Immigrant Entrepreneur of the Year is chosen based on how the entrepreneur has developed their business and created new jobs in Finland. Dörig's story shows how expertise from abroad can bring new ideas to the Finnish food sector.
The news source did not include more detailed information about the award ceremony, the company's turnover or its number of employees. The information is based on the brief presentation published on the Yrittajat.fi website.
