Wineus advises on the succession solution of André Koch AG

Wineus has successfully advised the shareholders of André Koch AG (“André Koch”) on creating an optimal succession solution by facilitating the sale of the majority of the shares of André Koch AG to a group of Swiss entrepreneurs.


Originally founded by Mr André Koch to import car refinish paints, the company has developed into a full-service provider of paints, products, services, and education offerings with a unique partner network to support Switzerland’s car repair industry.


“In the past decade, we have enjoyed remarkable growth to become Switzerland’s leading player in our industry. As part of our succession solution, we were able to bring experienced Swiss entrepreneurs onboard, who, together with our existing management team and personnel, will continue to drive our business ambitiously forward,” says Enzo Santarsiero, CEO and shareholder of André Koch.


Wineus has acted as exclusive lead advisor to the shareholders of André Koch for their succession solution by planning, structuring, and executing the transaction.
