history
Avireal was founded in 1972 as a planning office and real estate company of Swissair . In January 1997 the company was spun off from the group as an independent company with SAirGroup as the main shareholder. In 1998 Avireal was ISO certified. After the collapse of SAirGroup, which in 2001 moratorium went Avireal AG was purchased in early 2005 for around 260 million francs of three private investors. René Schmid, a trustee from the canton of Zurich, and Remo Stoffel , a real estate investor from the canton of Graubünden, agreed to buy Avireal. Stoffel also brought Hannjörg Hereth , a former manager of the German Metro AG , into the company as a third investor. The transaction agreed in January was completed on April 28, 2005. On the same day, Avireal was actually split up and the properties were transferred to Stoffels Winsto AG, in which Schmid, Stoffel and Hereth now also each held a third as equal partners.
At the beginning of 2008, a dispute between the three investors escalated, Hereth's expansion to Dubai was nowhere near the returns achieved in Switzerland. In response to the dispute, Hereth had Schmid and Stoffel removed from the Avireal board of directors. The latter intervened at the responsible district court in Bülach and were re-entered in the commercial register. Hereth finally gave up in June 2008 and agreed to a separation. Schmid also left Avireal in January 2009, and then also from Winsto AG in September 2010 - he brought his shares into Beltopo Holding , founded in 2007 , in which he has a stake.
The public prosecutor's offices in the cantons of Graubünden and Zurich are investigating suspected property and bankruptcy crimes against Stoffel. There were also criminal investigations by the Federal Tax Administration (FTA) on suspicion of evasion and repeated tax fraud.
In the spring of 2010, the former Implenia managers Christian Bubb and Hans-Peter Domanig moved to Stoffels group of companies. In early 2010, Stoffel also acquired the general contractor Bauengineering AG (formerly FFA Bauengineering AG , a spin-off of Flug- und Fahrzeugwerke Altenrhein (FFA) ) and its project development company Swissbuilding Concept AG from St. Gallen entrepreneur Peter Mettler .
In January 2011 the new Priora Holding AG and the Priora Group AG were entered in the commercial register. The business activities of Avireal were transferred to Priora Facility Management AG , the rest of Avireal AG was deleted from the commercial register in July 2011 after the merger with Stoffel Partizipationen AG .
