Martin Haefner

businessman Switzerland

Martin Haefner is a Swiss businessman and the main shareholder of Swiss Steel, holding nearly 66% of the company's capital. At 71 years old, he has faced significant challenges as the steel manufacturer grapples with financial difficulties, including a substantial loss of nearly 200 million euros in 2024 and a decline in revenue. To support the struggling company, Haefner recently provided an additional loan of 150 million euros, following previous financing efforts totaling 200 million euros. His wealth is largely attributed to his ownership of the auto importer Amag.
