The Leutenegger family is delighted that the succession process has been successfully completed and that this solution secures the long-term future of the long-established company.

"We can count on an excellent team here, who share our philosophy and whose tremendous commitment to the company we greatly appreciate. We want to carry the tradition and customer focus that have made Leutenegger + Frei AG a unique company in the market over the last 66 years into the future and develop it further with our ideas. In the interests of continuity, we are retaining both the L+F brand and the Andwil SG location. Together with our employees, these stand for innovation, quality, and outstanding service," says Stefan Matti.

 Ambitious goals for the future
