CEO Change Bertschi Group

Jan & Hans Jörg

The change of CEO announced in January has taken place as planned. Jan Arnet has taken over the operational management from Hans-Jörg Bertschi and is the new CEO of the Bertschi Group since 1 August 2018. We are pleased that a very experienced and reliable manager has come to the top and are convinced that he will drive forward the development of the Bertschi Group with much enthusiasm. Hans-Jörg Bertschi will focus on new market activities and strategic projects as Executive Chairman of the Board and keeps active in the company on a full-time basis. Jan Arnet’s successor, Santiago Gonzalez, starts in Dürrenäsch on 6 August 2018 and will head the BU Liquids. Michael Koch has already taken over the management of the subsidiaries Spain and Portugal based in Tarragona.

We wish you all a good start and much success for the new challenge!
