Scout24 marketplaces move closer together

With retroactive effect from January 1, 2006, the previously independent online marketplaces AutoScout24, ImmoScout24, FriendScout24 and TopJobsScout24 will merge to form Scout24 Schweiz AG. According to the press release, this move is intended to make better use of synergies and reduce operating costs. The strategic change towards more flexible structures is intended to absorb the expected strong growth: Up to 100 new jobs are to be created over the next few years.
According to its own announcement, Scout24 is clearly the leading Swiss network of online marketplaces. The Scout24 marketplaces have been owned by Deutsche Telekom since the end of 2003.
