BaselArea has a new chairman

Dr. Peter Krebser is to become the new President of the Board of Directors of BaselArea, Economic Promotion. He will take up office on 1 September, succeeding the current holder of this position, Dr. Suzanne Thoma.

Peter Krebser (57) was elected as the new President at the last members’ meeting of BaselArea, representatives of Cantons Basel City and Baselland and of the leading business organizations in the region. Peter Krebser, who has a doctorate in chemical engineering, is responsible for Global Production at Sika AG, where he is a member of the Executive Committee. He has 25 years of industrial experience, especially in the chemical and pharmaceutical sectors, where he has held senior positions with Huntsman AG and worked with Novartis, Sandoz and Lonza. Peter Krebser lives in Basel.

 
Suzanne Thoma has been President of the Board of Directors of BaselArea since 2004. Her achievements during this period include in particular the strategic realignment and focusing of BaselArea on the life sciences and other high-tech sectors. BaselArea has benefited enormously from her experience in management. Since the focal point of Suzanne Thoma’s life at present lies outside the Basel region, she has decided to step down.


BaselArea is responsible for promoting the economic region of Basel on the international stage. The joint promotion of Cantons Basel City and Baselland provides assistance to foreign companies settling in the region and advisory support for new start-ups. The services are available free of charge to anyone interested. Every year, BaselArea looks after around 700 clients and assists about 80 companies in starting up or establishing their business in the region.
