🚢 How are Swiss companies navigating the 39% tariff shock? The analysis from Le Temps reveals the stark reality facing Swiss entrepreneurs as record-high tariffs reshape global trade strategies. With limited room for price adjustments, businesses must rethink their entire approach to the north American market. Hevin Demir, Global Trade Advisory Lead at Deloitte Switzerland, emphasises the complexity: supply chains are product-specific, requiring tailored scenario planning with each client. Rather than seeking quick fixes, she observes companies using this disruption as an opportunity to analyse their value chains comprehensively – an investment that wasn’t necessary when their products enjoyed tariff-free status. The path forward isn’t about circumventing rules but strategic adaptation: geographic diversification, market rebalancing, and long-term production decisions that prioritise sustainability over short-term relief.

Andi Klein recently discussed the evolving private equity landscape, highlighting emerging trends and regional dynamics at the Private Equity Insights DACH conference in Munich.   He noted that the portfolio is generally performing well and in total above plan. Though some challenges remain for the industry, Triton is well positioned to navigate these with its operational support playing a key role.    Andi emphasised that well-run companies can be successfully realised in any market environment, citing Triton’s track record of recent exits including the sale of FläktGroup and Kelvion from its Mid-Market funds, as well as Dantaxi 4x48 from its Smaller-Mid-Cap strategy.
