CGS Team bolstered by a broad base

Dr. Rolf Lanz, Managing Partner

Our logo calls us “the business builders” and that truly says it all: CGS is specialized in forming industrial clusters, with Buy & Build anchored in our DNA. Owners of niche providers can build on the foundation of our dynamic and very diverse team that unlocks the door leading to their companies’s next development stage and offers long-term opportunities.

Successful industrial Buy & Build strategies have to meet various criteria: technical expertise in the niche business, broad industrial and management experience, a network spanning the globe, and the requisite financial strength are the most important ones. Further prerequisites are the strategic and analytical skills needed to find the right companies harboring potential and the expertise in successfully tackling and operationally implementing internationalization.

Partner level broadened
Yet a genuine partnership of equals fostered by a climate of open dialog must undergird any Buy & Build strategy. Together with its industry partners, CGS has been demonstrating for 20 years how this kind of sustainable corporate development works. To keep things this way, CGS has broadened its partner level, promoting three of its seasoned experts to managing partners: Thomas Anderegg, Antonio Cives, and Giorgio Vannotti. And the team itself has grown, bolstered by the arrival of two young talents: Jonas Bumbacher and Marc Trippel.

Responsibility at all levels
CGS is committed to actively supporting its junior professionals, focusing on their development at all levels. Mentored by managing partners, junior team members learn by doing and take on responsibility at an early stage until they can assume operational functions themselves.
