With his education and training, his track record and his many years of experience, 61-year-old Jürg Rötheli fully meets the requirements for the role of Chairman of the Board of Directors of RUAG MRO Holding Ltd. His many years of experience as CEO and member of the Board of Directors of various companies, including state-affiliated organizations, were decisive for his appointment. With ORS Group Ltd (ORS), Jürg Rötheli heads a company that works very closely with the federal administration and is regularly exposed to political tensions (care and accommodation of refugees).
Jürg Rötheli completed his legal training in 1990 by being admitted to the bar and received his doctorate in law in the same year. He then held various management positions.
Federal Council reviews legal form of RUAG MRO Holding Ltd
An expert report commissioned by the DDPS concludes that the private limited company as the legal form of RUAG MRO Holding Ltd no longer meets today's requirements. The Federal Council has therefore decided to examine possible public law legal forms for RUAG. In particular, the public law institution or the special-law company under public law, which can be structured according to the needs of the Confederation, are being considered.
RUAG was already aware of this review and will work together with the authorities involved to achieve an optimal outcome. RUAG will provide further information on developments and the progress of the process in this context as soon as the review has been completed.
