Concentration

The Swiss are presently digesting a series of takeovers and mergers. For one, Rufener events Ltd., Zurich, recently announced a partnership with the group Worldspan. Worldspan has made a name for itself chiefly in the organisation of congresses and fairs and in incentive and dialog marketing; with an international partnership network for congresses and trade fairs and its own ticketing, Rufener events describes it as the perfect complement for its own operations.
The two Swiss firms, which will remain legally independent, employ about 40 people in Zurich and at branch offices in Hamburg, Barcelona and London. They plan to move into shared agency premises in Zurich next year.
