Zurich-based Condor swallows Bern-based FaroTV
FaroTV founders Mathias Ruch and Björn Hering, along with the 25 employees, will continue their work at the company’s current headquarters. The name FaroTV will also remain the same.
Zurich-based film production company Condor Films is taking over Bern-based FaroTV, which develops and produces TV formats such as "Joya rennt" and "Celebrations". FaroTV founders Mathias Ruch and Björn Hering and the 25 employees will continue their activities at the current headquarters. The FaroTV name will also be retained. Mathias Ruch and Björn Hering will join the management of Condor Films. The acquisition will increase the pool of permanent and freelance employees and create synergies in format development, production and post-production, Condor announced. Among the advantages of the acquisition, the Zurich-based company also counts the fact that it now has a location in Bern, which will bring it closer to clients for advertising and corporate films in the capital. It is also hoped that the growth potential of the Condor Films Group will be strengthened.
