The BVS Group arranges succession and strengthens its position through a strategic partnership

BVS Packaging Group AG, based in Urdorf (CH), which includes the companies BVS Verpackungs-Systeme AG in Urdorf (CH), BVS-Verpackungs-Systeme GmbH at the sites in Erzingen (DE), Memmingerberg (DE) and Ansfelden (AT) as well as Inpalo GmbH in Erzingen (DE), has entered into a strategic partnership with Packaging Group AG, based in Zug (CH). As part of this collaboration, significant shares in BVS Packaging Group AG were transferred to Packaging Group AG, based in Zug, with retroactive effect from January 1, 2025.

The aim of this partnership is to create a sustainable succession solution for the BVS Group in the interests of the owner Livio Marchioni and to ensure the long-term development of the Group through a strong entrepreneurial alliance. The locations in Switzerland, Germany and Austria will remain under the current management. Livio Marchioni will remain a shareholder of the Group and will continue to serve as CEO and Chairman of the Board of Directors. Livio Marchioni will also join the Board of Directors of Packaging Group AG. A generous special bonus has been made available to the employees of the BVS Group from the proceeds of the sale. "It is my personal thanks for the dedication and long-standing loyalty of my employees and should also be an incentive for their future commitment to the Group in the extended network," says Marchioni.

Packaging Group AG, which belongs to Genico Family Office AG, now unites six companies from the packaging industry, including Equisa AG, Carlo Volponi SA, Frima Pac AG, Finser Packaging SA and the newly acquired subsidiaries of BVS Packaging Group AG. CEO and owner Andreas Georgiadis is delighted with the addition of the BVS Group, which now makes up the largest part of Packaging Group AG. A total of 160 employees at 12 locations in the DACH region are now working for the Group. Andreas Georgiadis is also taking on a seat on the Board of Directors of BVS Packaging Group AG.

"By combining our expertise and experience, we are creating even more diversity, strength and proximity for our customers. The partnership brings fresh impetus and opens up new opportunities, whether in purchasing, product development or logistics. At the same time, the BVS Group remains an independent company with a clear identity and familiar character - and that is precisely what makes this collaboration so valuable.

The merger not only increases our professional strength, but also creates a network of people who achieve great things every day with passion, experience and genuine customer proximity.
