Office furnishing house settles succession
Since the beginning of May, the leading furnishing house Bruno Wickart AG from Zug has been under new management. Industry expert Isidoro Celentano is taking over the Zug-based office and home design consultancy as part of the succession plan.
Bruno Wickart AG sees itself as a consultant for office, contract and residential furnishings in the upscale segment. The Zug-based company represents renowned furniture brands such as USM, Vitra, Cassina, Fritz Hansen, Wilkhahn and Zoom and occupies a leading position in German-speaking Switzerland in the planning and design of office and administrative spaces. Bruno Wickart AG employs around twenty people. The company was founded in 1951 by Josef Wickart as a stationery and typewriter store in Zug. In 1970, Bruno Wickart founded the AG and focused the company on office and contract furnishings. Since the end of April 2016, the company has been 100 % owned by Isidoro Celentano, who has many years of experience in the furnishing industry.
Isidoro Celentano has management experience in SME companies and has more than ten years of furnishing and sales expertise in the upscale home and office furniture sector for companies and private individuals. The 58-year-old entrepreneur from Nottwil/LU holds an MBA from the University of Zurich and most recently acted as an independent contractor. Celentano wants to consolidate the company's market leadership and further develop the business: "This will be a great challenge that I am looking forward to. Together with the long-standing employees, I will make targeted investments in the future. Nothing will change for our customers. They will continue to benefit from the usual high quality of service and the furnishing know-how of the long-standing employees."
