CIC backs Mega Gossau

The company will continue to be controlled by CEO Daniel Schudel and its current management team. In 2013, the management team led by Schudel purchased the company from its sole shareholder Peter Bernasconi. At that time, it expected turnover of CHF 23m.

CIC aims to advise and support family businesses with co-investment. The firm acquires minority stakes with governance rights for between €3-50m, investing from its own capital pool of approximately €700m.

The investment will be used to continue the development of the company's production site in Gossau.
