economy

Pully was a rather rural village until the beginning of the 20th century. At that time viticulture was practiced on the slopes around the town center , but this was displaced by vegetable growing in 1915. Today there are only a few small vineyards left. The primary sector has hardly any significance in the employment structure of the population.

Due to its location directly on the city limits of Lausanne, the settlement pressure on Pully rose sharply as early as 1900. As a result, the former wine-growing village developed into a residential suburb of Lausanne. The slopes around the old town center were built over with apartment blocks, single-family houses and villas and the agricultural zones were pushed back further and further. In contrast to the other municipalities bordering Lausanne, there is no large industrial or commercial area in Pully. Tetra Pak International SA and Assura are important companies . The vast majority of those employed in Pully (around 80%) are employed in the service sector.
