zumkehr hotelforsale ag from Interlaken and GRIWA TREUHAND AG from Grindelwald, respectively Interlaken, will go a joint way in the future.
Jürg Zumkehr and his wife Françoise, founders and owners of zumkehr hotelforsale ag, have – after more than 30 successful years – been thinking about the succession of the company for some time. As there was already a very good and long cooperation between the two companies, zumkehr hotelforsale ag will be newly incorporated into the company structure of GRIWA TREUHAND AG as a subsidiary.
In the past years, the resulting synergies have already been used successfully several times. GRIWA TREUHAND AG has already been able to acquire extensive experience through successful succession arrangements in the hotel industry and is therefore very familiar with the specialist areas of hotelforsale ag, the purchase and sale of hotels and restaurants in Switzerland as well as the management and marketing of such properties. For Sandro Bolton, the takeover enables the strengthening of business perspectives in the hotel and gastronomy sector: “I am pleased about the merger, the new management team is equipped with a lot of know-how with Jürg Zumkehr and Thomas Strebel, from hotelforsale ag and Jan Ewert, from GRIWA TREUHAND AG.” Jürg Zumkehr is pleased: “There were various options and possibilities in the room as to what the succession arrangement could have looked like. However, the connection with GRIWA TREUHAND was my desired solution from the outset; it simply fits together ideally.”
In the future, the two companies will combine their services under one roof: buying and selling real estate, renting and managing properties. The company, which will be called hotelforsale ag in the future, will offer its services in the office of GRIWA TREUHAND AG in the Jungfrau Center in Interlaken as of 1 June. All employees will continue to work for hotelforsale ag and nothing will change for the clients. Jürg Zumkehr will also continue to contribute his experience to the daily business. Both companies have many years of experience and are successfully holding their own in a dynamic tourism environment. The commitment to provide high-quality services is strengthened with this merger and can develop further in the new company structure.
