Among the towns of Sankt Gallen, Uzwil stands out for its long association with Bühler, the Swiss technology company headquartered here. Set on the gently rolling Swiss Plateau, the municipality lies north of the Thur valley, with the Appenzell Alps farther to the southeast. Bühler was founded in Uzwil in 1860 and has grown into an international specialist in technologies for food, feed and advanced materials, giving the town a distinctly industrial and innovative identity. Uzwil and neighbouring Niederuzwil are served by the railway line between St. Gallen and Winterthur.
