New management of the SVTI
The SVTI Swiss Association for Technical Inspections has a new director. Raffael Schubiger was elected as the new director by the board of directors. The mechanical engineer succeeds Herbert Egolf, who led the SVTI for more than 25 years.
The Board of Directors of the SVTI Swiss Association for Technical Inspections has elected Raffael Schubiger as Director and Chairman of the Executive Board. The new director took office on 1 January 2019. He is already a familiar face in the SVTI Group; since January 2017, Raffael Schubiger has been CEO of the subsidiary Swiss Safety Center AG (formerly Swiss TS, Swissi AG and IWT).
Raffael Schubiger, 47, graduated with a doctorate in mechanical engineering from the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology (ETH) in Zurich, completed additional studies in business administration and, before joining the SVTI Group, held management positions in power plant construction at ALSTOM Power and headed the thermal plant and renewable energy divisions at the consulting firm Pöyry.
Raffael Schubiger takes over as Director of the SVTI from Herbert Egolf, who was responsible for the management of the SVTI for more than 25 years. During this time, Herbert Egolf has developed the SVTI into a leading Swiss institution in the field of technical safety supervision. He will continue to be available to the company in the future in an advisory capacity on a reduced basis.
The SVTI Board would like to thank Herbert Egolf for his great services and wishes Raffael Schubiger every success in his new role.
