Dear – friends of IVS – Helmut Schweiger

 

After 30 years of build up, growth and management the IVS with it’s headquarters at Amberg,

Bavaria I, founder and CEO of the IVS GmbH, decided, based upon intensive and long lasting

consideration, to retire from my active IVS (A Doro Company) business live and will further

concentrate on my private business investments and other new challenges. Furthermore I’ll be

available for the company in an advisory function for any length of time.

 

I’m very proud of our mutual achievements during the last 30 years. I want to thank you all

sincerely for the amazing success we reached over this decades. My particular graduate belongs to

my wife Susanne, who mastered

all ups and downs together with me and the IVS team throughout the last 30 years.

 

Looking back to the IVS, founded 1991 in Amberg and achieving a turnover of about 1 billion until

this day, I remember with great pride and happiness all the things we achieved during the years.

Together as a team, customers or suppliers but especially as friends, we created an awesome

enterprise growing continuously over the last years. I think it’s fair to say that we at the IVS utilized

the opportunities of internationalization and target group specific positioning.

 

An additional milestone in the IVS history is certainly the vending of IVS to the Doro Group with

it’s head office in Sweden in the year 2013. Until now I consider this as a strategic important and

right step. Thereby the IVS gained the opportunity for expansion and the advantage of utilization of

scaling effects. Based on that we developed our leading position on the German retail market.

 

During the years I personally recruited many of you and I collaborated with you with deep respect.

Hence, it was not an easy decision to retire and I’d say it feels like leaving my family. But

nevertheless with some teariness I decided to rise to new challenges.

 

I want you to know that it was very gaining to work together with you over the last 30 years. I very

appreciate all the support you gave to me during this years. Words are not enough to express my

thankfulness and I hope we’ll meet in the future again.

 

I wish you all the best, particularly healthfulness and all what you wish for yourself.

 

Best regards

 

Helmut
