Winkler Livecom joins Mesol as majority shareholder
With this strategic move, Winkler gains access to events in the hospitality industry, a business segment the company has not previously focused on. The investment is effective retroactively as of January 1, 2021.
"We see potential and great synergies in the cooperation. On the one hand, Mesol will be active in an exciting area in the Venue Service market segment for hotels and convention centers. On the other hand, Winkler offers the administrative structures and access to a large material park with an expanded sourcing network," Stefan Mathys, CEO of Winkler Livecom and Delegate of the Board of Directors of Mesol, was quoted as saying in a statement. "We have a clear goal: Mesol should become the Swiss industry leader in this business segment."
Mesol was founded in 2020 shortly before the outbreak of the Corona crisis. With Thorsten Pabst and Sven Zimmermann, two industry professionals are at the helm of the startup. Both have many years of experience and a large network. As an independent company, Mesol will remain autonomous and will be supported by Winkler for administrative services, according to the statement.
