Adcom takes over Harri Kunz Kommunikation

 
The Baar-based Adcom Group is taking over Harri Kunz Kommunikation (HKK) in Biberist as of January 1, 2008. Company founder Harri Kunz will remain responsible for the major projects at HKK after the sale of his shares and will act as an interface between Adcom and HKK. The operational management of HKK will be transferred to a commercial director. Within the Adcom Group, Kunz will be responsible for the development and launch of new strategic projects and will work closely with Michael Fischer, member of the Board of Directors and Managing Director of the Adcom Group. According to a press release, HKK fits perfectly into the concept and structure of Adcom Group. With its core competencies of promotion, communication and flagging, Adcom is active in similar or the same segments as HKK. Synergies are therefore obvious. HKK was founded ten years ago and today employs over 20 permanent staff. As an event supporter, it works for companies such as Swisscom, Credit Suisse, Würth, Carlsberg, the Swiss Football Association and Ochsner Sport.
The Adcom Group was founded in 1996 by Michael and Serena Fischer in Zug and comprises four subsidiaries: Adcom Production (CD and DVD productions), Adcom Communication (communications agency), Adcom Motion (merchandising) and Keller Fahnen (mail order). Adcom has had its own Asian branch in Shanghai for three years. In July 2007, the Group took over the mail order company Hach Switzerland. The Group generates annual sales of over CHF 60 million and employs around 175 people.
