Peter Spuhler, a prominent figure in Swiss industry, has faced significant losses after investing in the now-bankrupt battery startup Northvolt. Known for his leadership in major Swiss companies like Stadler and Swiss Steel, the 65-year-old billionaire's venture into electromobility has not yielded the expected returns.
Peter Spuhler, known for his leadership at Stadler Rail, has built a diverse investment portfolio through his PCS Holding, where he holds significant stakes in various companies. However, many of these investments, including Swiss Steel and Rieter, are currently facing crises. Notably, the insolvent battery manufacturer Northvolt is absent from Spuhler's official holdings list.
Swiss industry faces significant challenges, with companies like Meyer Burger and Swiss Steel announcing substantial job cuts amid a downturn exacerbated by weak global demand, particularly from Germany.
