The Schleuniger Group is now part of the Komax Group

Combination of Komax and Schleuniger completed
The Schleuniger Group is now part of the Komax Group: the combination of Komax
Holding AG and Schleuniger AG was completed on 30 August 2022. The Schleuniger
Group will be consolidated as of 1 September 2022. The Komax Group expects to generate revenues of CHF 560 to 580 million and an EBIT margin of around 11% in the
2022 financial year.
The combination of Komax Holding AG and Schleuniger AG was completed on 30 August
2022 along with the associated capital increase. The 1,283,333 newly issued registered
shares were allocated to Metall Zug AG in exchange for 100% of the Schleuniger shares.
The new shares will be listed on the SIX Swiss Exchange as of 31 August 2022, thus increasing the number of listed registered shares of Komax Holding AG to 5,133,333. Metall
Zug AG, the former owner of Schleuniger AG, now holds a 25% stake in Komax Holding AG.
Capital contribution reserves stand at a good CHF 200 million
As a result of the combination, Komax’s capital contribution reserves have risen from
CHF 0.8 million to a good CHF 200 million. In the next few years, this will give Komax the opportunity to distribute half of the dividend tax-free to Swiss residents who hold their shares as
private assets.
On completion of the transaction, i.e., as of 30 August 2022, Dr. Jürg Werner became a
member of the Board of Directors of Komax Holding AG and the restrictions on registration
and voting rights (15%) previously applicable to the shares of Komax Holding AG were abolished without replacement.
