Schramberg, June 26, 2014 – SCHWEIZER is pleased to announce that Dr. Marc Schweizer, CEO of Schweizer Electronic AG, was elected Board Member of Meiko Electronics Co. Ltd today. His nomination earlier this year has been in line with the time schedule of the joint venture with Meiko Electronics, both partners agreed on in December 2012. The two companies joined forces in order to build a common production line for the manufacturing of PCBs dedicated to European customers in the automotive and industry segments. The election today is a proof that MEIKO’s shareholders are committed to this partnership as well.
“I am honoured to be elected Board Member of MEIKO. Following the foundation of our partnership with MEIKO in April 2009, our mutual shareholding and the foundation of our joint venture in 2012, my nomination has been the next milestone within the timeline we set ourselves for our partnership. It is very pleasing to see that MEIKO’s shareholders support this nomination and our cooperation. At the same time the election marks a step towards internationalisation of MEIKO’s Board,” says Dr. Marc Schweizer, CEO of Schweizer Electronic AG.
