The purchase of the Schweizer Group represents a strategic milestone for us to position ourselves strongly as a system supplier. As the quality standards and technological thinking of both companies fit together excellently, we have decided to take this step despite difficult general conditions. We have the utmost respect for the team's expertise and have already had extremely positive experiences working with them as a customer. The upcoming transformation is an enormous challenge over the next years and decades, and with the integration of the Schweizer Group we see ourselves ideally positioned for this."
