Where we come from
The story of ecocoach began over ten years ago in the valley basin of Schwyz (CH). Our founder, farmer Baptist Reichmuth, is self-determined and strives for more independence in all areas of life. So, he had the idea of utilising farm waste to produce his energy. Ten years later, his concept became reality, the biogas plant is up and running, and Agro Energie Schwyz AG supplies the Reichmuths' farm and the entire region with sustainable energy.
Where we go
Sons Pirmin and Philip do the same as their father. They are fascinated by innovative energy technologies and want to run their farm independently and sustainably. The electricity from the photovoltaic system on the barn roof is to be used to operate the milking machine in the barn and to power the electric tractor in the field. Together, the Reichmuths are pursuing the vision of becoming energy self-sufficient with the latest technologies and sustainable resources.
However, for the family, the range and speed at which they can use renewable energy is not great enough. They want to drive forward the development of innovative technologies themselves and realise tomorrow's ideas today. The Reichmuths decide to develop energy management systems and electricity storage systems for buildings and vehicles. They founded ecocoach AG and put together a competent, dynamic team of electricians and software developers who shared their fascination and wanted to help shape the future of energy.
ecocoach is a combination of the words «eco» for «ecology» meaning the environment, and «eco» for «economic», meaning economical, and «coach» for trainer and promoter. Thanks to technology, the aim is to have a coach in the use of renewable resources, which ensures that we preserve our planet for all future generations and, at the same time, act economically. All are in the spirit of energy independence for people, their communities, and companies.
