Aerni AG successfully finds a successor solution
Aerni AG Maschinen- und Anlagenbau, a traditional company in the St.Gallen municipality of Waldkirch, is getting a fresh wind in its sails with the acquisition of two young entrepreneurs. The 100% takeover of the shares marks the beginning of a new phase for the company.
Two young entrepreneurs take over Aerni AG: With the takeover of this traditional company, the buyers pursue long-term, strategic goals. In doing so, great value is placed on continuity, according to the statement. To guarantee this, Hansjörg Müller, as former managing director, will continue to be an integral part of the future. His continued involvement in customer service and his influence on the Board of Directors will ensure that the existing system of success is continued. In addition, the high-level know-how within the company and thus the existing jobs are seen as an important prerequisite for the company's continued sustainable success. The regional roots of the company will be preserved.
The Aerni AG
As a traditional and family-owned company, Aerni AG has been active in eastern Switzerland since 1965 and has built up an excellent reputation in the fields of steam plants and pig feeding systems as well as in mechanical engineering. The three profit centers in industry, CNC technology and agricultural technology have enabled the company to diversify its sales channels. The company's customers include well-known companies in the Swiss industrial sector.
The buyers
The new owners of the company have acquired the company in the form of an MBI (management buy-in). Due to their distinctive expertise and vision, the previous owners are certain that they have found the right succession solution for the company in terms of a sustainable future for the company.
