Per 1 January 2007, the Swiss Exhibition Group takes over a hundred per cent of Expomobilia AG located in Effretikon (ZH). The internationally operating stand building company is integrated as an independent subsidiary of MCH Swiss Exhibition (Holding) Ltd. Swiss Exhibition herewith consolidates its position as one of the internationally leading live-marketing companies.
In September 2006, Swiss Exhibition had already announced a forty per cent participation from 1 January 2007 onwards in the renowned stand building company Expomobilia AG and a hundred per cent integration of the same company by 2010 at latest. As a result of the positive further negotiations, Swiss Exhibition's Board of Directors and the owner of Expomobilia AG have decided to integrate the company already to a hundred per cent into the Swiss Exhibition Group per 1 January 2007. It has been mutually agreed upon not to mention the sales price.
Expomobilia AG will be carried on as an independent subsidiary of Swiss Exhibition under the management of its current owner and managing director Hanno Taverna.
Expomobilia AG, founded in 1980, belongs to the leading exhibition building contractors in Europe and is world-wide active. Over two thirds of its turnover is made abroad. Its offer ranges from system stand construction to complex customized solutions and global full service packages for many internationally operating companies such as Honda, Nissan, Renault, Nobel Biocare, Swatch Group, Swisscom, HP, Sony and Credit Suisse. Expomobilia AG employs today approximately 80 permanent salaries.
With the take over of the stand building contractor, the Swiss Exhibition Group comprises - apart from the two former exhibition companies and locations MCH Swiss Exhibition (Basel) Ltd. and MCH Swiss Exhibition (Zurich) Ltd. - the two service companies Winkler Veranstaltungstechnik AG and Expomobilia AG under the roof of MCH Swiss Exhibition (Holding) Ltd.
Its integration in the Swiss Exhibition Group opens to Expomobilia AG further growth potentials while consolidating the position of Swiss Exhibition as an internationally leading live-marketing company. By widening its business activities - not only portfolio wise but also geographically - Swiss Exhibition will be able to win new customers and to develop new income sources, benefiting, amongst others, in the long run to its core business - the organisation of own exhibitions.
