Hearing protection for the Swiss champion on the way to Shanghai
When young professional talents deliver top performances, precision, full concentration and reliable health protection are crucial. As part of a sponsorship, Elacin AG was able to support Gilles Glauser, the newly crowned Swiss champion of SwissSkills 2025 in the profession of bodywork tinsmith, with custom-made hearing protection.
Gilles has won the Swiss Championship and will represent Switzerland at WorldSkills in Shanghai from 22 to 27 September 2026. We congratulate him on this outstanding achievement.
WorldSkills as a stage for young professionals
WorldSkills is the World Skills Championships and is recognised as an international platform for young skilled workers. Participants from many countries demonstrate their skills in numerous professions under realistic conditions.
In addition to specialised knowledge and craftsmanship, concentration, perseverance and a professional working environment are also crucial. Noise exposure also plays an important role, particularly in technical and skilled trades.
Our contribution on site: Custom-made hearing protection
As part of our sponsorship, we took ear moulds of Gilles Glauser and his trainer directly on site. This enables us to create the basis for customised, comfortable hearing protection that can be worn reliably during training.
Customised hearing protection offers clear advantages, especially in the workshop: high wearing comfort, a secure fit and protection that accompanies the working day comfortably over a longer period of time.
Why the Elacin RC-NG is so relevant in industry
The Elacin RC-NG is a reliable solution for industrial working environments. It was developed for situations in which noise protection is necessary, but at the same time speech intelligibility and perception in the working environment remain important.
This is particularly important in professions such as car body repair, metalworking and workshop environments in general, where employees and trainees need to be able to coordinate and understand instructions while still protecting their hearing.
We are keeping our fingers crossed for Shanghai
We are proud to be able to accompany talented young Swiss professionals on their journey. We wish Gilles Glauser every success in his preparations and a strong performance at WorldSkills in Shanghai.
