  • Traditional property in Horgen changes hands

    Traditional property in Horgen changes hands

    UBS is ceding the Bocken seminar hotel and country estate in Horgen to the Swiss Life Group. A corresponding contract has already been signed, UBS announced in a press release. The purchase price for the property has not been disclosed.

    The former Credit Suisse training centre in Horgen was transferred to UBS as part of the merger of the two major banks. However, UBS operates its own training centre, the UBS Center for Education and Dialogue Wolfsberg in Ermatingen TG. Since its reopening in 2020, this centre has also had greater capacity for seminars and events than the Bocken training centre in Horgen. This means that UBS no longer needs the Bocken seminar hotel.

    Swiss Life intends to use the “historic country estate” primarily “for internal events and further training”, explains Group CEO Matthias Aellig in the press release. “We also want to open up the Bocken to external guests.” According to Sergio P. Ermotti, CEO of UBS Group AG, the takeover of the Bocken seminar hotel by the Swiss Life Group “creates the best conditions for all parties involved and for the region to ensure that this wonderful property can continue to be run sustainably in the future”.

  • Zehnder Group takes over Caladair completely

    Zehnder Group takes over Caladair completely

    Zehnder is buying the French company Caladair International SAS in its entirety. After acquiring 75 per cent in October 2021, the Aargau-based ventilation and radiator expert will now purchase the remaining 25 per cent of the shares, Zehnder announced in a press release. The purchase price and further details of the transaction will not be disclosed.

    Zehnder intends to strengthen its business in the ventilation segment with the complete takeover of Caladair. The Mâcon-based company specialises in energy-efficient ventilation and thermodynamic systems for commercial buildings. Last year, Caladair generated sales of around 15 million euros. This means that the company has developed positively in the two years under the Zehnder umbrella, according to the press release. In the last financial year before the takeover, Caladair generated sales of around 10 million euros.
