Avobis concentrates on its core business
Andrin Waldburger takes over the chairmanship from company founder Thomas Abegg and restructures the real estate service provider.
As of May 1, the Avobis Group will focus on its core business with services relating to real estate consulting, the development of investment products and mortgage servicing. The Group companies Centerio, Rimaplan and Verit Immobilien are sold to a group of investors led by Andrin Waldburger and continue to operate as independent companies.
As part of this realignment, the Board of Directors of Avobis Group AG is also being reconstituted. Thomas Abegg, the previous Chairman and company founder, as well as Christoph Schmid and Isabelle Welton will not be standing for re-election at the Annual General Meeting in May. Andrin Waldburger, who was elected to the Board of Directors at the recent Extraordinary General Meeting, will take over as Chairman. The Board of Directors will then be composed as follows: Andrin Waldburger (Chairman), Kurt Birchler and Hansueli Loosli.
"More focus, closer to the customer, shorter decision-making paths"
"After 27 successful years with the Avobis Group, I am delighted to be able to hand over the strategic management of the company, having already handed over the operational management in 2019," says Thomas Abegg. "However, I will remain closely involved with the company as a founder and investor." Andrin Waldburger says: "I am ready and happy to help shape the future of the Avobis Group financially and strategically, and I would like to thank Thomas Abegg and the Board of Directors for their trust". The task now is to focus Avobis on its core business. "More focus means even greater customer proximity, less bureaucracy and shorter decision-making paths. The individual companies will become more powerful, agile and efficient." (aw)
