Anita Stebler becomes the new President of Swiss Export
At the General Assembly of Swiss Export, members elected Anita Stebler as the new President of the industry association and Andreas Stöckli as the new Vice President. The two foreign trade specialists succeed Carl Ziegler, who is stepping down after nine years in office.
At the General Assembly of the industry association Swiss Export on March 14, 2025, the members present unanimously elected Anita Stebler as the new President. The Bern native has been a member of the Swiss Export Board of Directors since 2018 and is co-owner and board member of the glass and metal construction company S:stebler. Anita Stebler has been at home in the export industry for over 30 years and is very much looking forward to the office. "I work for our family business in Portugal, Germany and the USA, among other countries, and am therefore actively committed to Switzerland as a prosperous export nation."
Andreas Stöckli, CEO of logistics service provider Rhenus Alpina and a member of the Swiss Export Board of Directors since 2016, will be the new Vice President. The qualified expert in accounting and controlling has been working in the logistics sector for over 20 years and is a proven expert in the Swiss export industry. "Swiss Export should continue to work to improve competitiveness and the framework conditions for the export industry."
The two foreign trade specialists are taking over from Carl Ziegler. He has stepped down after nine years as President of Swiss Export. Under his aegis, the number of members of the industry association grew by 9.6 percent last year alone. Year after year, the Swiss Export Days attracted an ever larger audience with their high-caliber guests. Most recently, over 600 guests attended.
Carl Ziegler shaped the association with open dialog, friendship and the courage to embrace change and is very grateful for this experience. "My time as President of Swiss Export flew by. I have fond memories of when we filmed the interview with Federal Councillor Parmelin on the escalator from the train station to the Federal Palace in Bern, or when we recorded the Swiss Export day at Bystronic AG during coronavirus. We also celebrated our 50th anniversary alongside many other successes and emerged stronger from crises."
