Dear readers 22 September 2005 represents a milestone in the history of Panalpina. It is the day on which Panalpina shares were publicly traded for the first time on SWX Swiss Exchange under the symbol PWTN. The Ernst Göhner Foundation, formerly our sole shareholder, enabled Panalpina to open up to investors and the stock market by selling a majority of the stock. Nevertheless, the Foundation intends to retain a sizable stock holding over the long term. For us, this decision is a sign of confidence in what we have been building up over the past decades. In the interview with representatives of the Board of Directors on page 4, you can find out why we are more than happy with the Foundation’s decision. This well considered and carefully planned IPO will bring our company a number of clear and invaluable benefits. The name Panalpina will become even better known, and we will have access to a widespread group of shareholders and thus to the capital markets, which will give us greater financial flexibility in future. But what impact will the IPO have on our plans for the future and on our day-to-day business? With this additional strengthening of our already very solid financial basis, we can confidently pursue our proven strategies: clear focus on international freight forwarding by air and ocean and on supply chain management solutions. On the other hand, the public listing enables us to expand our worldwide network and reinforce our leading position as a globally active company. However, our size will never stand in the way of our taking the various individual requirements and special wishes of our customers into consideration. Panalpina will always make the extra effort necessary to offer the precisely tailored and flexible forwarding and logistics solutions that customers expect. This is exactly what our motto “A Passion for Solutions” means. We can be proud of what we have already achieved, and now that we are present on the stock market we can be confident that we will continue along our successful path.
