The canton in brief

Agriculture, forestry & fishing in the canton of Glarus: what the register shows.

Farms are rarely entered in the commercial register (registration is only mandatory above a certain turnover): the companies listed here are therefore the most structured, often set up as an LLC or a corporation, with needs in machinery, insurance and fiduciary services.

This sector accounts for <1 % of companies classified in the canton of Glarus, against <1 % across Switzerland. No recent registration has been recorded in the canton of Glarus in this scope over the past 90 days.

Glarus is a traditional industrial canton (textiles, then mechanical engineering, plastics and energy) that has opened up to services and tourism. Since the merger into three municipalities the register is compact: industry in the Linth valley, trade and crafts around Glarus and Näfels.
