economy
Small trades and agriculture are important branches of industry. An important electrical substation is located in Brislach, which supplies the city of Basel with energy, among other things. There were legal problems over the responsibility of the electrical systems such as substation and transmission lines, since the district of Laufen passed from the canton of Bern to the canton of Baselland.
There is a branch of the Gilgen Logistics company in Brislach .
