Ringier: Company remains family-owned
Ringier remains a family-owned company. Publisher Michael Ringier will bring his nephew, Robin Lingg, onto the board of directors next year.
"We want to move into the next generation," said Michael Ringier in an interview with the Sonntagszeitung. "That's why my sister's son will be joining the Board of Directors next year." It is conceivable that Robin Lingg, who is currently working for a pharmaceutical company in Mexico, will one day succeed him as a shareholder - but not as CEO. "We have ruled that out", the publisher continued. The company will be managed by an external person.
