Wirz: Successful business year 2005
Gross operating revenue for Wirz Partner Holding, an independent, owner-managed company, amounted to 21.5 million Swiss francs for the 2005 fiscal year.
The communications company Wirz ended the 2005 financial year on a successful note. The gross operating income of the independent and owner-managed Wirz Partner Holding amounted to CHF 21.5 million. According to a press release, the good result is due to the management buyout in mid-2005 - Jost Wirz transferred the majority of shares to the Wirz Group as part of a succession plan - and the acquisition of a majority stake in the online communications agency Assai Interactive. For Peter Strub, CEO of the Wirz Group, this year's result is further confirmation of the direction taken two years ago: "We have consistently developed the Wirz Group further in recent years and now offer all important communication disciplines in the three core areas of advertising, corporate communications and digital and dialog communication under one roof. This means we are well equipped to meet the growing demand for interdisciplinary and cross-media communication services." There are also signs of a recovery in the communications market, Strub added. The Wirz Group did not publish detailed figures on its annual results.
