Peter Glutz, Honorary Chairman of the Board and previous President and CEO of SPT, states: "The Kellerhals Carrard team under the lead of Beat Brechbühl and Sabine Neuhaus from the Shanghai office provided high quality, prompt and solution oriented advice and helped us achieve a smooth succession of the SPT Group".
