Since its founding in 2005, peoplefone has evolved from a Swiss provider of Internet telephony into a European corporate group. Today, the company serves approximately 60,000 business customers in seven European countries and works with more than 2,500 installation partners. The new location in Zurich symbolizes this development. “peoplefone has changed significantly over the past 21 years. With our new location, we are creating a modern environment for collaboration while remaining closely connected to Zurich. We look forward to shaping the next steps from here,” explains Christophe Beaud, the company’s founder.
Background: When peoplefone was founded in Switzerland in 2005, the focus was on internet-based telephony. Since then, the company has continuously evolved and expanded its presence in Europe. Switzerland was followed by branches in Austria, Poland, Slovakia, Lithuania, Germany, and France. peoplefone is certified as a VoIP provider in five other European countries.
Today, the group has more than 300,000 business users and collaborates with over 2,500 installation partners. More than 120 employees work for the group. These figures demonstrate how the Swiss company has evolved into an internationally positioned provider of business communications.
peoplefone Switzerland is now making a visible statement about this development: On November 1, 2026, the company will move into new offices at Hardturmstrasse 3 in Zurich. The new workplace represents not only a change of location but also the company’s commitment to actively shaping the next phase of its development.
The former Bluewin Tower also embodies a piece of Swiss telecommunications history. The building represents an industry in transition—and thus fits well with a company whose own history is closely linked to the development of telecommunications.
From a Swiss pioneer to a European provider: peoplefone looks back on 21 years of growth while simultaneously looking ahead. The new location in Zurich marks another chapter in this evolution.
New address effective November 1, 2026:
