NAPERVILLE, Ill., Oct. 31, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- When the “Rockstar of Sewing” comes to your town–all the way from Switzerland–you throw a big event to welcome Hanspeter Ueltschi to your community. Ueltschi is a fourth-generation owner of BERNINA, a premier sewing machine company based in Steckborn, Switzerland. He will be a guest speaker and share his vision for the future of his company at an event in Naperville on November 3, 2022.
“We are thrilled to have Mr. Ueltschi visiting our store and sharing all the new things that BERNINA has coming down the pipeline,” said Gayle Schliemann, owner of BERNINA of Naperville. “He will talk about running his 129-year-old company while adhering to its three core principles of Pride, Passion, and Performance. He will also host a question-and-answer session, and he will be autographing sewing machines with his “magic pen”. We invite our community to come and be inspired.”
“BERNINA of Naperville is proud to be a part of the BERNINA family of retailers and particularly humbled that Mr. Ueltschi chose to speak to our community. We find inspiration not only in the Swiss innovations of this company but also that they have persevered since 1893 as a family-owned company for four generations and growing,” said Gayle.
