Multilingual Stephan Gürtler is a production engineer and industrial engineer. As Head of the business area Buildings, he is a member of the Gruner Executive Committee.
Kurt Rau, who will retire at the end of June 2020, has been part of Gruner for 36 years. He started as a partial project manager in Basel, managed countless projects in Switzerland and abroad, and took over overall project management for large buildings such as the new exhibition center in Basel. Gruner owes a lot to Kurt Rau. Both as a project manager and as a manager in many positions, he has helped Gruner to develop further.
