Media type: Manuel Fischer becomes editor-in-chief of "Phase5

Manuel Fischer, a historian with a licentiate, is a proven connoisseur of the trade media world. After starting his career at a magazine for the food industry, he worked, among other things, as a specialist editor at a magazine publisher and simultaneously as a freelance author and contractor. In the process, he carried out numerous mandates for associations and publishing houses, trained himself in corporate publishing and came into contact with such diverse subject areas as human resources, logistics & supply chain management and retail trade. Thanks to his many years of specialist journalism, he has acquired a broad knowledge of building technology and energy over the years and has a great appreciation of the diversity and potential of the industry:

"Topical questions move many people in and outside the industry. Energy transition in general and at the building, what is possible? Where do comfort ventilation systems make sense? Is the bathroom the new living room? Everything smartly controlled? Is building sustainable?" That's why Manuel Fischer is looking forward to the new challenge: "With Phase5, we want to continue to offer reliable orientation on many topics and encourage intensive discussion."

The previous editor-in-chief, Monika Schläppi, is taking a well-deserved break after the intensive development work and the establishment of the trade magazine Phase5. She will subsequently continue to work as a journalist. "We would like to thank Monika Schläppi for the successful cooperation. Monika Schläppi has contributed significantly to the launch, development and economic success of Phase5.

"We are pleased to have found the best possible successor in Manuel Fischer. Manuel Fischer continues the strategy of the leading trade magazine for home and building technology and further expands the strengths of Phase5 Print with the website, the newsletter and via Linkedin," says Jürg Rykart, co-owner of Medienart.
