Shoe manufacturer Künzli, which is threatened with closure due to a lack of a successor, has found a new owner. The entrepreneur and husband of SVP National Councillor Magdalena Martullo-Blocher, Roberto Martullo, is buying the company.
Roberto Martullo will "initially personally manage Künzli operationally" as the new owner, Künzli announced in a press release on Wednesday. The transfer of expertise is guaranteed, as the previous owner Barbara Artmann will accompany the transition until mid-2025 or "as long as desired".
This ensures that production and order processing can continue. The employees at the headquarters in Windisch have already been offered to cancel the redundancies by mutual agreement. The company's own factory in Albania is also continuing production "without interruption".
