Change of ownership at Maurer + Salzmann

Maurer + Salzmann has been based in Winterthur for decades and is active in various areas of communication. Until the end of 2015, the company belonged to the Wigra Group. As of January 1, 2016, it recorded a change of ownership. Four long-time employees - Andreas Künzli, Nadine Boksberger, Frank Günthardt and Martina Bundi - are taking over the majority of shares in the company. The SME is managed by Andreas Künzli as CEO and majority shareholder and employs twelve people.

Maurer + Salzmann owns the wholly owned subsidiary Zomag in Wetzikon. Both companies are active in trade fair and event organization and organize the Winti Mäss, the Wohga Winterthur, the KMU Forum Region Winterthur, the ZOM Züri Oberland Mäss, the Zürcher Oberland spring fair "wohnen&genuss", the KMU Forum Zürcher Oberland and the popular Schlager-Zelt Zürcher Oberland. Furthermore, Maurer + Salzmann has been active as a marketer of transit advertising for over 15 years. Last year, the company won a tender from the Zürcher Verkehrsverbund. In addition to the two previous market areas, M+S AG has been offering four more since January 1, 2016. With the exception of the city of Zurich, the new public transport advertising field of activity covers all Zurich sales areas. For this purpose, a new 80 percent position was created as of January 1, 2016.

Andreas Künzli, new CEO of Maurer + Salzmann, looks to the future with pride and optimism. "We carry out our work with passion, are rooted in the relevant regions and maintain an active network. By taking over the majority of shares, we are setting another sign for our passionate efforts over all these many years," says Künzli. "Together with a strong team, we will continue to develop our trade shows, events as well as transit advertising with a lot of heart and soul," Künzli is convinced.
