The Oettinger Davidoff Group has announced that the new name of the company will be Oettinger Davidoff AG, effective 1 October 2013. The headquarters will remain in Basel, Switzerland.
The company name change is said to reflect the group’s process of becoming “a modern, international family business”.
In the course of this renaming, the Oettinger Davidoff parent company and the subsidiary companies in the sector of cigars and tobacco accessories have been rebranded. The logo (pictured) is now in a discrete gold colour, while the dark brown in printed matter is designed to “create an association with the main activity of the company in the world of premium cigars and tobacco accessories”, the firm explained.
The company headquarters of Oettinger Davidoff AG will be temporarily relocated from Nauenstrasse in Basel to Hochbergerstrasse 15, near the Rhine harbour. Over the next three years, the company head office near the train station will be demolished and replaced by a modern building designed by renowned Basel architects Diener & Diener.
Davidoff CEO Hans-Kristian Hoejsgaard commented: “The new, modern building will form the basis for an inspiring work environment, in which we will be able to achieve our ambitious goals. Diener & Diener have understood how to implement the visions of the owners, and to harmonise the company’s magnificent past with our plans for the future.”
Dubbed the “˜21st Century Maison Davidoff’, the new building will likely be ready in 2016, the company said.
As of 1 October 2013, the company address will be:
Oettinger Davidoff AG
Hochbergerstrasse 15
P.O. Box
CH-4002 Basel/Switzerland
All other contact details such as telephone, fax, e-mail and bank accounts will remain unchanged.
