ICT consulting firm baeriswyl tschanz & partner is acquired by msg

Founded in 2006, baeriswyl tschanz & partner ag (BTPAG), headquartered in Ittigen/Bern, supports its customers in the development of sustainable strategies, concepts and in the performance of analyses in the areas of information technology, telecommunications and organization. Effective immediately, the company will be acquired by msg, an internationally active group of companies based in Ismaning near Munich with over 9,000 employees worldwide. It is represented in 28 countries and also supports its customers in the digital transformation. msg board member Dr. Jürgen Zehetmaier welcomes the acquisition: "In addition to the fact that the comprehensive portfolios of msg as well as BTPAG complement each other excellently, this step fits perfectly with our strategic orientation." msg is already represented in Switzerland with group members such as msg systems, Finnova and Optravis, among others. There, msg is transferring its existing business with the Public Sector to BTPAG in order to bundle its strengths in the Swiss market even more strongly as the msg Group.

baeriswyl tschanz & partner continues to operate independently on the market

BTPAG will remain on the market as an independent company and will gain great growth potential through the sale of the share package to msg as a strong international and strategic partner, according to a statement to the media. Marc Baeriswyl, CFO of BTPAG, is pleased with the successful succession plan. "Through today's takeover of the shares by msg, we were able to ensure the continuity of the company, in particular the safeguarding of jobs, as well as the preservation of the name. This in particular is something we attached the greatest importance to in all our deliberations."

Oskar Zodel, CEO of msg Switzerland, will take over as Chairman of the Board of Directors of BTPAG in the future. Bernhard Emch and Remo Tschanz will continue to serve as members of the Board of Directors. Operationally, the company will continue to be managed by Remo Tschanz as CEO. Remo Tschanz will in future sit on the Public D-A-CH Board. Marc Baeriswyl will remain in his role as CFO until his retirement at the end of 2024. The entire management team remains unchanged.
