Sabrina Brossard is the new President of the Board of Directors of Conextivity Group, based in Saint-Prex (Vaud), Switzerland. She succeeded her father Peter Fischer, President since 1999, on June 1. With Jonathan Brossard as CEO since 2016, the third generation of the Fischer founding family thus takes the reins of the Group whose two business activities, Fischer Connectors and Wearin’, are growing rapidly.

On June 1, at the last board meeting with Peter Fischer as president, Sabrina Brossard recalled the history of the family business, whose international expansion was initiated by her father in the 1980s. The family business was founded in 1954 by Sabrina Brossard’s grandfather, Walter Werner Fischer. An expert engineer in vacuum technology, he developed the world’s first hermetic connector, launching a company recognized by design engineers worldwide for its products and solutions for high-performance connectivity in extreme environments.

Peter Fischer said he was delighted to be able to pass on the baton “at the right time”, expressing “his full confidence in Sabrina and Jonathan, whose innovative ideas and ambitious entrepreneurial vision he praises”. Now an honorary member of the board of directors, he is “looking forward to following the group’s future developments as it continues to grow”.

Sabrina and Jonathan Brossard intend to continue the legacy of Peter Fischer, saluting his tireless commitment to the service of the company and its customers. “We are proud to begin this third generational chapter with such momentum,” the new president of the board and the CEO of Conextivity group recently told a Swiss media outlet. “Following the commercial and operational expansion initiated by Peter Fischer, we are fully aware of the sense of responsibility that falls to our generation, especially as we know that the type of connectivity we provide to our customers, precisely because it is both robust and innovative, is of vital importance in the functioning of our hyper-connected world.”

The Conextivity Group is enjoying steady double-digit annual growth, has doubled its order intake in seven years and its R&D staff in five. The Group employs nearly 700 people in 11 subsidiaries, including a new Fischer Connectors plant in Portugal that will be operational by the end of 2023. In recent years, Fischer Connectors has expanded its scope of activity to cover the entire connectivity value chain, adding electronic solutions to its historical portfolio of connectors and cable assemblies. Wearin’, the startup co-founded by Sabrina and Jonathan Brossard, is currently implementing its Internet of Things solution for intervention professionals with leading international partners. In addition to her new role as president, Sabrina Brossard will retain her managerial and operational functions in Wearin’ marketing.

Beside electronic cables and connectors, Fischer has the FiberOptic series, multimode or single-mode, available with one, two, or four optical channels, or as a hybrid connector with two optical channels and two electrical contacts.
