Suhr (AG), September 24, 2024: " I am delighted to to support the F.G. Pfister Foundation with my expertise as a member of the Board. The Foundation contributes to strengthening Switzerland as a significant business location and as an attractive place to live and work by promoting innovation and entrepreneurship in a variety of ways. A central focus is on alleviating the succession problem in Swiss SMEs - an issue that affected me myself until a few years ago. Under the umbrella of the F.G. Pfister Foundation, F.G. Pfister Holding AG invests in SMEs in order to ensure succession. It will be a particular concern of mine to make this external succession solution, from which I have also benefited, known and accessible to other companies," says the new Foundation Board member Gabriela Manser.

In 1999, Gabriela Manser took over the management of Goba AG, Mineralquelle und Manufaktur, and ran the family business in the third generation until the end of 2022. In March 2022, Gabriela Manser handed over the majority shares in her company, known for its "Flauder" mineral water among other things, to F.G. Pfister Holding AG as part of an external succession solution. Since then, she has remained active as Chairman of the Board of Directors.

Thanks to her extensive experience, in-depth entrepreneurial knowledge and creative expertise, Gabriela Manser will be a valuable addition to the F.G. Pfister Foundation as a new member of the Board.
