Swiss perfumes, luxury and cosmetics suppliers Import Parfumerie and CHRIST Montres & Bijoux are reorganizing their management structures to reinforce their position as market leaders in Switzerland.
The two companies, which are part of Coop Switzerland, are now managed as two autonomous units to simplify organizational processes and decision making, and to better meet the needs of clients and the market.
The reorganization follows a change in management. Sole manager Andreas Frischknecht hands over control of CHRIST Montres & Bijoux to Nina Müller and of Import Parfumerie to Michael Susta. Frischknecht is now responsible for commercial buying at the Coop group in Bern.
Nina Müller offers solid experience in retail and international fashion, watches and jewelry brands. Before joining the Coop group, she had a successful career at Swarovski. "What's most important for me is to develop trust from our customers and to strengthen the identity of CHRIST", said Müller.
Since 2012, Michael Susta has held different functions at Coop's buying department. "I am very glad to continue developing Import Parfumerie, the number one discounter for perfumes and health products, working together with motivated colleagues", he said.
