    Timber construction company introduces new organisational structure

    Pirmin Jung Schweiz AG, a timber construction company based in Sursee, wants to revise its organisational structure. According to a press release, the company is aiming for a flexible and agile structure based on the expertise of all employees. According to the press release, decisions will be made directly at the point of decision making, independent of a predetermined hierarchy. A management team of 16 people will take care of strategic decisions. At the same time, the new organisational structure will incorporate and implement ideas from all areas.

    “We are of the opinion that we can successfully master the increasingly complex tasks and issues for us as a company and in the projects if the people with the greatest expertise in the topic work on and decide on the issues in the spirit of Pirmin Jung,” company owner Pirmin Jung is quoted as saying in the press release. “The new organisational form is an agile organism that allows us to react flexibly to challenges and drive innovation. The projects and tasks that we work on as a company are at the heart of our organisation.”

    Geberit Group navigates through difficult financial year 2023

    2023 was a challenging year for the Geberit Group, characterised by a slowdown in the construction industry in Europe and a change in demand that increasingly focused on heating systems. Despite a significant decline in volumes and pressure on the sanitary industry, the company managed to improve operating margins – a testament to its agile production and logistics processes, lower energy costs and efficient price management. Although the increased strength of the Swiss franc posed a challenge, the effects were largely offset by the robust corporate structure.

    This resilience enabled the Group to consolidate its market leadership in the sanitary ware sector and expand its market share. Although net sales fell by 9.1 % to CHF 3,084 million, operating cash flow (EBITDA) increased by 1.4 % to CHF 921 million, which corresponds to a remarkable EBITDA margin of 29.9 %. Despite a 12.6 % decline in net profit to CHF 617 million due to a one-off tax benefit in the previous year, the net return on sales remains strong at 20.0 %. Earnings per share fell by 10.2 % to CHF 18.39, but continue to reflect the Group’s financial robustness.
