Baar, Switzerland – October 2026
After twelve years at the helm, Fabio Fagagnini is handing over operational leadership of Mikrona Group AG to Michael Besomi. Fagagnini brought the company into Healthcare Holding Schweiz AG in 2023. Since taking over the leadership of Healthcare Holding Schweiz AG in March 2024, he has led both companies in parallel. With the appointment of Michael Besomi, the long-planned internal succession is being completed. Fabio Fagagnini will remain Chairman of the Board of Directors of Mikrona Group AG.
Michael Besomi has been with Mikrona Group AG since March 2025 and leads Ortho Walker, Switzerland's market leader in orthodontic consumables. Ortho Walker has developed successfully, both operationally and financially, under his leadership. As CEO, Michael Besomi will assume overall responsibility for Mikrona Group AG and its brands Mikrona, Ortho Walker, Axera Dental, FTC Dental and Alpin Orthodontics. He will continue to lead Ortho Walker directly.
Fabio Fagagnini, CEO of Healthcare Holding Schweiz AG, comments: “Mikrona Group has shaped me as an entrepreneur over the past twelve years. It was therefore important to me not simply to hand over its leadership, but to entrust it to someone who knows the company, has demonstrated performance and embodies our culture. Michael has proven over the past 18 months that he is ready. I trust him and look forward to handing over operational responsibility to him.”
Michael Besomi adds: “I would like to thank Fabio and the Board of Directors for their trust. With Mikrona Group, we have a unique platform for orthodontics and dentistry in Switzerland. My ambition is to continue this success story. We will systematically develop synergies between our five brands, pool our strengths and offer our customers innovative solutions from a single source. I look forward to this together with our teams, partners and customers.”
