    New CEO Giuseppe Santagada at the Erne Group

    A new chapter begins with the appointment of Giuseppe Santagada as Group CEO, who officially took up his role on 1 January 2024. Santagada, an experienced industrial engineer with an MBA from the University of St. Gallen and further studies at Harvard Business School, brings with him an impressive career ladder, most recently as Group COO and Delegate of the Board of Directors at Vebego, where he worked in Switzerland, Germany and Austria.

    As the new CEO, Santagada will play a key role in the further development of the company’s strategy. He plans to work closely with the fourth generation of the ERNE family, the Board of Directors and the Executive Board to strengthen the organisation along the value chain and align it even better with market requirements and customer needs.

    Daniel Erne, Chairman of the Board of Directors, commented favourably on the new appointment: “In Giuseppe Santagada, we have the ideal manager to ensure the continuity, success and strategic growth of our family business.” Santagada’s extensive experience and far-reaching network are seen as fundamental resources for the future development of the Group.

  • Wüest Partner acquires 100 per cent of the shares in QualiCasa AG

    Wüest Partner acquires 100 per cent of the shares in QualiCasa AG

    Since its foundation in 2001, QualiCasa has made a name for itself by providing decision-making bases for sustainable portfolio management. The development of digital solutions has also contributed significantly to its success. With a dedicated team of 26 specialists, QualiCasa supports its customers with services, particularly in the areas of construction quality management and asset controlling. The basis for this is a comprehensive data base, statistical models and a profound understanding of real estate lifecycle management

    The takeover is a natural continuation of the already long-standing and successful partnership. The “Visits” application, which is now widely used, was developed together. Both sides expect the future common path to provide mutual inspiration for the development of new solutions and the realisation of synergies

    Andreas Bleisch, Chairman of the Board of Directors of Wüest Partner, explains: “Through the merger, our clients will benefit from an even broader range of services throughout the property life cycle. We are delighted that we have been able to attract a brand that is well established and highly regarded in the industry, as well as a great team, to our group.”

    Rolf Truninger, founder, CEO and board member of QualiCasa, says: “In Wüest Partner we have found the right strategic partner to join forces, implement innovations and pursue a common vision.”

    QualiCasa will continue to operate as a subsidiary under its own name. Rolf Truninger will remain active as CEO and accompany the integration.
