In the past financial year, we generated revenue of CHF 281.8 million – an increase of 4.6 percent over the prior year. This success is down to our clear strategy of focusing on solution-oriented, strategic growth while constantly prioritising our clients’ needs.

In this period, we were able to further cement our position as a significant player in the Swiss market. We maintain strong, trusting relationships with clients in all market segments – from SMEs to international corporations, as well as public and non-profit organisations. This versatility is one of our greatest strengths and helps to secure our enduring market position, even in challenging times.
