valfor advised AVIA in the acquisition of Küng AG Bern

AVIA-Members Osterwalder St. Gallen AG, Schätzle AG, Lang Energie AG/Osterwalder Zürich AG, and Ernst Hürlimann AG as well as Dagda Consulting AG successfully acquired Küng AG Bern, a company operating roughly 60 AVIA gas stations (incl. shops and charging points) in central Switzerland. After merger control clearance, the transaction closed end of September 2024.

In 1927, independent Swiss importers of petroleum products joined forces and founded the AVIA Association in Switzerland. Almost 100 years later, 10 AVIA member companies operate the largest brand-name service station network with more than 500 service stations and over 100 shops under their common brand logo.

valfor advised the buyers in this transaction with a team consisting of Thomas Schmid, Andreas Suter, Matthias Suter and Lara Hunziker (all M&A) as well as Stipe Jozic (notarial services).
