"With courage to happiness" - ceremonial farewell to Urs Lüscher
After eco energie A+ AG became the property of ELEKTRON AG on January 1, 2023, the next step in the succession plan is now taking place. Urs Lüscher, who will continue to manage the company until the end of 2023, was given a ceremonial farewell as part of the "handover" of the management team. Pascal Bolliger will take over the management of eco energie A+ AG from January 1, 2024.
An era comes to an end - a new one begins: Urs Lüscher bids farewell at "handover ceremony"
On November 11, the time had come: together with 300 invited guests, the "handover" of the management from Urs Lüscher to Pascal Bolliger was celebrated in a grand ceremony. In addition to the official handover of management to Pascal Bolliger, the focus of the event was on Urs Lüscher's achievements with eco energie A+ AG. "He showed a great deal of courage when he founded eco energie A+ AG. At a time when the topic of solar energy was not yet very popular in Switzerland. I was always impressed by his courage, commitment and determination in developing the topic of solar energy," said Enrico Baumann, CEO of ELEKTRON AG, in recognition of Urs Lüscher's legacy. Pascal Bolliger also expressed his sincere thanks to the former Managing Director of eco energie A+ AG for his commitment and is also looking forward to his new role. "As the new Managing Director, I am particularly pleased to continue and further develop the path that the company has taken so far together with the employees and management and to confirm eco energie A+ AG as a strong partner in the solar energy sector."
On leaving the management of eco energie A+ AG, Urs Lüscher is also very confident about the company's future under the umbrella of ELEKTRON AG. "I am very happy about this solution. On the one hand, because the previous path and strategy will be continued, and on the other hand, all employees and their valuable expertise will be retained." And as a farewell, he sends some good wishes to the new management. "I wish ELEKTRON AG the best of luck for the future. As you know, you can influence luck with a lot of commitment and I am convinced that the employees under the new management will continue to ensure that the successful path we have taken is continued with a great deal of commitment and courage."</p
It is also a farewell with one laughing and one crying eye, as he himself admits. However, Urs Lüscher will remain with eco energie A+. "There is a good chance that I will continue to work for eco energie A+ AG in some form, but with a reduced workload."
New owner - old team and proven values - ELEKTRON invests in the renewable energy sector
With the acquisition of eco energie A+ AG, ELEKTRON AG is expanding its portfolio in the field of renewable energies and sustainability in the building sector. A win-win situation for everyone involved. As a leading Swiss technology company in the field of environment and infrastructure, ELEKTRON's values, visions and active role in increasing energy efficiency not only fit perfectly with the philosophy of the company, which is active in the fields of photovoltaic systems, heat pumps, e-mobility and energy consulting. With eco energie A+ AG, ELEKTRON is also not taking over an unknown company. Urs Lüscher and Enrico Baumann, Managing Director of ELEKTRON AG, have a long-standing relationship based on trust, which has now culminated in the acquisition of eco energie A+ AG.
The objectives of the succession plan are clearly defined. As part of the strategic development of ELEKTRON AG, the area of "Renewable Energies" was defined as a focus. In the future, resource-saving solutions and strong overall concepts are to be offered in various business areas, thus making an important contribution to driving forward the energy transition. A goal that was further advanced with the acquisition of eco energie A+ AG. The fact that the "eco" team has doubled in size over the last two years also shows that the demand for convincing overall concepts, from production to commissioning, continues to grow strongly. This growth is also being pursued under the umbrella of ELEKTRON AG. But not at any price, as Enrico Baumann never tires of emphasizing. "We will certainly grow, but within a healthy framework and not at any price. The DNA and team spirit of "eco" should be preserved at all costs. ELEKTRON is also very concerned that its employees are doing well. We want to be a place where people enjoy working. Interpersonal relationships are one of the key success factors for us."
The management is delighted with the successful "handover" and congratulates Urs Lücher on his achievements at eco energie A+ AG and wishes him all the best for his future with and alongside eco energie A+ AG.
