Long-term value creation in the Swiss body repair market.
The Swiss market is fragmented and entering a decisive phase. SCG is building a long-term group – with entrepreneurial roots, a clear strategy and verifiable quality.
Three developments converge.
Succession wave
Many established body and paint shops will be dealing with succession in the coming years.
Rising requirements
Insurers, fleet operators, new vehicle technologies, digitalisation, skills shortages and growing cost pressure.
International networks are growing
New competition – but also opportunities for cooperation, shared standards and new access to insurers, fleets and industry partners.
A market in motion.

Four strategic pillars.
The advantages of shared structures, purchasing power, market presence and professional management – while staying fully close to the local market.
Securing succession & entrepreneurship
Preserve strong regional businesses, relieve owners and create attractive succession solutions.
Operational excellence
Professionalise shared standards, purchasing, processes, quality and financial transparency.
Insurers, fleets & key accounts
Act as one group with clear performance, reliable quality and professional handling.
Data & technology
Use digitalisation, KPIs, process management and new technologies as a real competitive advantage.
Proven rather than assumed quality.
Modern vehicles combine body structure, sensors, ADAS, diagnostics, software and increasingly high-voltage technology. What matters is no longer who repairs – but who can prove a professional repair.
| Today | SCG target |
|---|---|
| Brand dealer = high trust advantage | Quality = documented proof of competence |
| Independent shop must explain its competence | Competence becomes systematically visible |
| Insurers steer by network and cost logic | Insurers also gain technical process reliability |
| Loose networks and partner lists | A group with shared interests and long-term value creation |
“At SCG, you don't have to believe the repair was done right. We can prove it.”

“I am convinced that now is a very good time to build a long-term group in the fragmented Swiss market.”
After many years in the Swiss body and paint industry – as an entrepreneur and on the industry side – I am happy to present the concept, the planned development of SCG and possible forms of collaboration in person. Critical questions are especially valuable: where are the opportunities, where are the risks – and where can we create additional value together?
