The Bell Food Group optimizes its Group structure in the growth segment Convenience

The previous division heads Martin Henck (Hilcona) and Thomas Bodenmann (Hügli) will continue to manage the business activities and are now members of the Group Executive Board. Marco Tschanz will take over the management of the Iceberg Division in addition to the management of the Bell International Division. The former head of the discontinued Convenience division, Volker Baltes, is leaving the company at his own request as a result of the reorganization. The Board of Directors would like to thank him for his commitment and service. The Bell Switzerland and Bell International divisions will remain unchanged. Sven Friedli will take over the management of the IT Bell Food Group from Marco Tschanz.
These organizational adjustments to the convenience activities will enable a more direct market approach. The simplified structure will enable opportunities to be exploited consistently in view of the new prospects following the coronavirus pandemic. The organizational changes will be implemented as of 1 May 2022.
