Auto Schweiz: Into the future with Albert Rösti
TASK OVERVIEW At its 64th General Assembly, the Association of Swiss Automobile Importers elected Albert Rösti as its new president. The National Councilor takes over the Auto-Schweiz steering wheel from François Launaz.
During the General Assembly in Horgen, both the current and the future President of Auto Schweiz emphasized the importance of the automotive industry and road transport for the Swiss economy. Albert Rösti was unanimously elected President for a three-year term at the proposal of the Board of Directors.
The Bernese Oberlander accepted the election with thanks and assured the representatives of the Swiss automobile importers of his full commitment to the concerns of motorized individual mobility.
Albert Rösti: "Hardly any other industry is currently undergoing such a transformation as the automotive industry. It fills me with pride and gratitude to be able to play my part in the continued success of this innovative industry in Switzerland in the future."
A technician in the chief post
Albert Rösti holds a doctorate in technical sciences and a degree in agricultural engineering. He has been a member of the National Council for the canton of Bern since 2011.
The outgoing incumbent and new Honorary President of Auto Switzerland, François Launaz, expressed his thanks for an eventful and joyful eight years.
François Launaz: "For me, a chapter of my life is closing, leaving me with many good memories and friends."
Continuity on the Executive Board
Another agenda item at the 64th General Meeting of Importers was the re-election of Marcel Guerry, Managing Director Switzerland of the Emil Frey Group, as one of two Vice Presidents.
As a result, the rest of the board will remain together in its current composition: Donato Bochicchio, Chairman of the Bord and MD of Ford Switzerland, as additional Vice Chairman, as well as Marc Langenbrinck, CEO of Mercedes-Benz Switzerland, and Helmut Ruhl, CEO of the Amag Group, as members of the Board.
