Sky-Frame founder Beat Guhl hands over the reins to the next generation

After 23 years at the helm of the company, Beat Guhl, founder and CEO of Sky-Frame AG, is handing over operational responsibility to Angelo Razzino as of 1 July 2025. The current Chief Sales Officer has been with the company for nine years. With this internal succession plan, the global market leader for frameless window solutions is focusing on continuity and entrepreneurial strength.  

Over the last quarter of a century, Beat Guhl has developed Sky-Frame from a metal construction firm into an international market leader for frameless window solutions. Now he is handing over the reins to Angelo Razzino, who is already well acquainted with the company. He has been working for Sky-Frame for nine years and has been responsible for international sales as Chief Sales Officer (CSO) for the last four of these. “This is a crucial step in Sky-Frame’s future development. I am extremely proud that we can present Angelo Razzino as a well-established internal successor”, says Beat Guhl. “Taking on this succession is far more than a professional step up for me – it is both an honour and a commitment to continuing the life’s work of the founder with respect and responsibility. I look forward to working with a strong team to write further chapters in Sky-Frame’s success story”, says Angelo Razzino.

The new Executive Board also comprises long-standing managers and employees: Angelo Razzino (CEO) will be joined by Reto Honegger (CFO), Andrea Zürcher (CMO) and Maurin Müller (COO). All Executive Board members participate in the stock-option plan, which allows them to gradually acquire shares in the company – as a clear sign of their commitment and trust in the future of Sky-Frame. There is also a change to the Board of Directors: Beat Spalinger, Vice-Chairman for the past six years, will take over as Chairman. Beat Guhl will remain closely connected to the company as Vice-Chairman of the Board of Directors and the majority shareholder. He will also temporarily take on the position of Head of System Engineering until the new manager starts at the end of 2025.
 

After more than 30 years of entrepreneurship, careful succession planning was extremely important to Beat Guhl: “I firmly believe that an entrepreneur only fulfils their responsibility if they have proactively planned and managed their succession in a transparent manner. This time has now come for me.” With its new executive team, Sky-Frame is ensuring continuity in its strategic and operational responsibility.
