After 66 years, a new era is beginning at L+F. Siblings Erich Leutenegger and Christine Leutenegger are handing over the future of Leutenegger + Frei AG to new owners Sandra and Stefan Matti from Kirchberg SG. The Leutenegger family is delighted that the succession process could be successfully concluded and that the future of the traditional company is secured long-term with this solution.

Stefan Matti has been working at Leutenegger + Frei AG since 2017 and has been the company's CEO for over two years. With the complete takeover of the company, he and his wife are securing the company's successful development in Andwil SG. «We can count on an excellent team here, which supports our philosophy and whose great commitment to the company we greatly appreciate. We want to carry forward and further develop the tradition and customer proximity that have made Leutenegger + Frei AG a unique company in the market over the past 66 years with our ideas. In the spirit of continuity, we are committed to both the L+F brand and the Andwil SG location. Because, together with the employees, these stand for innovation, quality, and excellent service,» says Stefan Matti.

 Ambitious goals for the future

Further objectives include, among others, the expansion of internationalisation, the further development of the latest plant control systems, and the extension of after-sales services.

New innovations from L+F will continue to be available for our diverse clientele in the future, and stakeholders can count on business relationships built on partnership. «We will continue to nurture the company's traditions and values, but at the same time, we want to make room for new ideas. This will secure a successful future for Leuenegger + Frei AG,» are the convictions of the new owners, Sandra and Stefan Matti.
