Centaurium Aviation, the independent representative of Bell Helicopter in Switzerland, is to undergo a change of ownership as part of a planned succession arrangement.

The current owner of the company, Dr. Daniel Borer, is stepping back from operational and strategic management in order to focus on new private projects in the future. The company shares have been transferred to the designated successor as part of a management buyout.

With Ivan Schmidhalter as the new owner of Centaurium, continuity within the company is ensured. He has extensive industry knowledge as well as many years of experience in the aviation sector and brings excellent qualifications to continue the company's successful development.

“With this succession solution, we are ensuring that the company is well positioned and can continue on its successful path,” explains Borer. “I am confident that the new owner, with his expertise and commitment, will continue to develop Centaurium in a sustainable way.”

The transfer of responsibilities will take place gradually over the coming months. For customers, partners and employees, the usual points of contact and the full range of existing services will remain unchanged.
