Founded in the southwestern Minnesota city 72 years ago with an initial run of ice cream
the company — known as Schwan’s Home Delivery until 2022 — was a pioneer in the frozen food home delivery industry
Its fleet of yellow trucks fanned out across the country delivering food to families where they lived
However the company says economic and market forces
led to a sell-off of a major chunk of the business to a Korean company a few years ago and a rebranding as Yelloh
Yet, challenges remained — the company closed 90 delivery centers and laid off about 750 employees last fall

CEO Bernardo Santana said it was with “heavy hearts” the company had made the difficult decision to end operations
“I am deeply grateful for our employees’ tireless and bold efforts
It has been our utmost pleasure and honor to serve our customers their favorite meals and frozen treats” he said
longtime board member Michael Ziebell said the concern now was for the impact on employees

Yelloh — the former Schwan’s home delivery business — is separate from Schwan’s Company
The home delivery business was split off in 2019 when new majority owners took over Schwan’s Company
the Boston College Arts Council hosted pianists Liudmila Georgievskaya and Thomas Schwan for a musical showcase titled “Elegies and Visions: A Musical Journey.” And a journey
leaving audience members moved and enthralled at the recitation of “Fantasy in F minor,” “Ma mère l’Oye,” and “Mysterium Doloris Quintae.”
The husband-and-wife duo breathed life into their pieces
turning the inanimate piano into a medium for storytelling
Georgievskaya and Schwan aimed to reawaken the Baroque era with their first medley
The pianists enchanted the crowd with quintessential fairytale stories in their second serenade
and they sealed the night with the musical chronicle of the crucifixion of Christ.
Georgievskaya and Schwan were able to evoke emotions few are able to replicate.
creating a seamless recitation with no discernible flaws
from the attentive nature of their facial expressions alone
it was clear to all that the performers were not merely entertainers
but practiced professionals dedicated to their craft
The instrumentation of the night was indeed something to marvel over
Having two pianists play interconnectedly allowed for a greater breadth of the 88 keys to be covered
adding depth and nuances to the iterations that otherwise would not have been possible
playing the higher octaves and the more outwardly facing melody.

His darkly toned harmonies brought vivacious dynamism into the night
Schwan and Georgievskaya made one piano into a symphony
which is no small feat for even the most experienced headliners
complete with concerts spanning the Americas and Europe
It’s no surprise that Georgievskaya’s performance was pure excellence given that she’s a published musician sponsored by Odradek Records and an alumnus of many distinguished universities.
Her musical counterpart was just as polished during his melodic interchanges
complete with a European tour and a position as a Joaquín Achúcarro Foundation Legacy Pianist.
the demonstration of talent was magnanimous
Gasson Hall provided the pianists with a classical background that aligned perfectly with the neoclassical sound Georgievskaya and Schwann produced
not a soul was left unenchanted on the gloomy Sunday evening.

brands may see the chance to update their logos
and even names as a shortcut to keep up with the times
But take a rebrand too far and you could lose everything
That’s especially true for long-running brands
which stand to lose valuable brand equity if they jettison too many assets
Just ask the frozen food delivery service previously known as Schwan’s
which made its last delivery this past week
But it faced headwinds as a new generation of consumers began ordering food on delivery apps
Schwan’s sold portions of its business to South Korean company CJ CheilJedang
but family members retained the part of its business called Schwan’s Home Delivery
which was eventually renamed to Yelloh and underwent a total rebrand
more contemporary sans-serif logo in an effort to compete visually in the crowded landscape of Instacart and Uber Eats
vice president of e-commerce and data analytics for Yelloh
tells Fast Company the rebrand “embodied the warmth of its iconic yellow delivery vehicles and the familiar greeting that reflected the company’s optimistic spirit.”
But the newly named company couldn’t find its footing
Yelloh announced it was shutting down due to changes in consumer habits
and the supply chain struggles it had faced since the start of the pandemic
Losing access to trusted brand assets didn’t seem to help
but Yelloh now offers its customers products through a partnership with Omaha Steaks
a family-owned company that goes back five generations and sells a wide assortment of food
The company proudly advertises its heritage with the tagline “America’s Original Butcher” in its logo
Don’t expect it to change much anytime soon
our 107-year-old brand enjoys high levels of awareness and esteem
and we make brand advancements very carefully and always with our customers at the table,” Todd Simon
incremental brand changes are key to ensuring that customers won’t be confused or left behind—a benefit Yelloh didn’t have when it came to losing its old name
But other brands can still learn a lesson about the risks of rebrands that could alienate even loyal customers
“When you lose touch with the consumer who made you
then they’re going to show you with their wallets,” says Mark Christou
“What I’d advise brands not to do is to try and change too much all at once
don’t change your business model all in the same go and hope that they all work out,” Christou says
“I think there has to be a very calculated business decision on when you rebrand and how you rebrand and why you’re rebranding.”
2024: This story was updated to reflect Schwan’s is still in business and sells branded food in retail stores and through the food-service industry

It’s the end of the road for an iconic Minnesota brand
“Yelloh” the Minnesota company once better known as Schwan’s announced it is closing in November
The iconic yellow delivery trucks were known in neighborhoods across the country
delivering ice cream and frozen foods to families where they lived.
Schwan’s Home Delivery was founded in Marshall 72 years ago. In 2022 the food delivery part of the company was rebranded as “Yelloh.”
RELATED: Yelloh, the frozen food home delivery service formerly known as Schwan’s, is closing after 72 years
Monday afternoon Yelloh announced it will end operations in November. In a written statement the company cited
“multiple insurmountable business challenges for the decision
as well as changing consumer lifestyles.”
According to the Minnesota Department of Employment and Economic Development
the closure will amount to approximately 176 layoffs throughout Minnesota
It’s worth noting that while Yelloh is closing
Schwan’s still operates a separate wholesale frozen food business and is still the largest employer in Marshall
Frozen meal delivery service Yelloh, formerly known as Schwan's, will be permanently parking its yellow trucks this fall, the company announced Monday.

"Digital shopping has replaced the personal

Schwan's Home Delivery rebranded to Yelloh in 2022The Minnesota-based company began as Schwan's Home Delivery in 1952
eventually growing to regularly provide frozen meals to thousands of households across almost every U.S
state from a fleet of iconic yellow trucks
The company rebranded to Yelloh in 2022 but stuck to its tagline of being the "original frozen food company." Yelloh currently employs about 1,100 employees nationwide
"Our concern is now for our employees and caring for them," Ziebell said in a statement
The last day products may be purchased via Yelloh trucks will be Friday
"It’s with heavy hearts that we made the difficult decision to cease operations of Yelloh," CEO Bernardo Santana said in a press statement

Yelloh has closed delivery depots around the country and laid off hundreds through the past year but said it still faces “insurmountable business challenges” that have forced its closure
“The current Yelloh team has worked hard against external headwinds such as the nationwide staffing challenges and crushing food supply chain disruption caused by the pandemic,” Board Member Michael Ziebell said in a prepared statement
The Schwan’s name lives on through its frozen foods after a South Korean company bought that part of the business for $1.8 billion in 2019. But the Bloomington-based delivery segment the Schwan family continued as the rebranded Yelloh will soon become part of bygone state lore, much like Camp Snoopy.
Part of Yelloh’s ultimate downfall was its association with the past. The company failed to change with shoppers’ habits. Much like the milkman gave way to buying gallon jugs in grocery stores, the rise of on-demand home delivery through apps like DoorDash and Shipt rendered the route-based delivery model obsolete.
“Digital shopping has replaced the personal, at-the-door customer interaction that was the hallmark of the company,” Ziebell said.
Nearly 20% of Americans bought groceries online in 2022, according to the U.S. Department of Agriculture, a substantial set of potential customers Yelloh failed to win.
“Our concern is now for our employees and caring for them as we all come to terms with the fact that this business — that served millions of families and provided a livelihood for thousands over the decades — has regrettably run its life cycle,” Ziebell said.
In Minnesota, 176 employees will lose their jobs beginning Nov. 22 as locations across the state shut down, according to a state filing. Yelloh has about 1,100 employees nationwide.
Last year, the company closed 90 delivery centers and laid off 750 people. It followed up with more closures and layoffs this spring as it shifted to third-party delivery to stay afloat. But the food proved secondary to the experience of having your local driver drop it off, and that market evaporated with every online grocery purchase through a number of other delivery companies and retailers.
The first Schwan’s delivery took place March 18, 1952, when 23-year-old Marvin Schwan drove 14 gallons of ice cream to families around Marshall in western Minnesota. The company grew across the country in the following decades and eventually had its yellow trucks delivering to customers from Seattle to Sarasota.
Since the birth of e-commerce decades ago, however, the company’s limited offerings available for delivery and relative lack of innovation left it in the shadow of digital competitors.
It’s unclear whether the Schwan family wanted to keep the delivery business or if buyer CJ CheilJedang saw it as an unprofitable segment and passed on purchasing it five years ago. Since the acquisition, internationally owned Schwan’s has thrived selling Red Baron and Tony’s pizzas and has plans to build a $500 million plant in South Dakota to make Asian food. The locally anchored delivery business has gone the opposite direction.
When it rebranded to Yelloh in 2022, the company left behind the well-known Schwan’s name and found itself continuing in a business already on the decline.
“What initially seemed like a fresh start quickly turned into a disaster,” advertising veteran Ken Moskowitz wrote last year. “Yelloh’s messaging lacked clarity, leaving customers perplexed and disconnected from the brand.”

the frozen food delivery service formerly called Schwan’s Home Delivery
which had once been known for its reach with rural Americans and its direct-to-consumer business model
closed its doors Friday after decades of decline
The service’s popularity exploded over the years and later foods frozen at their peak made it onto the menu
the company delivered meals and ice cream across 48 states
but critics and experts said the company became frozen in time
ceding ground to competitors and modernity
The Schwan’s name lives on in frozen foods (Red Baron
Smith’s are among its many brands) — that side of the business was sold to CJ CheilJedang
Yelloh permanently parked its fleet of refrigerated trucks that
were once instantly recognizable in small towns across America
Friday’s closure means that about 1,100 people across 13 states will be out of a job
the company said it made its decision because of “multiple insurmountable business challenges,” including “economic and market forces
a Yelloh board member who spent 22 years with the company and previously held leadership roles
calling it a very hard and very emotional decision
Ziebell said demographic and market issues began plaguing the company in the late 1980s and early ’90s; with fewer people home as drivers came
the relationships between drivers and customers that had been built over decades began to diminish
which could compete on frozen food price and quality
and on top of that regulatory changes added restrictions to their truck operations
said Schwan’s Home Delivery was a keystone brand for them growing up in central Iowa
Their family got deliveries from 1990 until 2010
and their grandmother “maybe used them even longer.” They enjoyed the “little ice cream sundae cups,” and when Crow experimented with a vegetarian diet in high school
their mother “ordered lots of vegetarian foods from Schwan’s when she didn’t know how to feed me.”
“I specifically loved the spinach mushroom pizzas after school and dance class,” they said
When Crow and their wife moved back to a rural area in the Midwest this spring
they considered subscribing but then they learned about the 2022 rebranding
“I wasn’t confident that everything would taste the same,” they said
The new name erased the nostalgia associated with Schwan’s
Crow also noted that part of Yelloh’s draw was its reach
The company delivered to areas that were too far from proper grocery stores to get deliveries by other means
and that only Amazon would make it out to those places
calling the regions “an underserved food desert.”
“I think in some cases that would mean someone might go hungry in certain circumstances,” they said
The 2022 rebranding was a failure on multiple levels
who is the founder of Ad Zombies and has been a marketer for 40 years
decision-makers “threw away all that history,” Moskowtiz said
Ziebell conceded that the rebranding did indeed hurt the business
that by changing the name to Yelloh the company had “lost the heritage of the Schwan’s name.”
The Schwan’s name was a part of the transaction with CJ CheilJedang
The sale of that part of the business also meant that Yelloh had to find other suppliers for its food
The home delivery service carried Schwan’s items until early 2024
but soon enough customers lost access to many of their favorite entrees
including the Schwan’s ice cream that had made the company famous
“Schwan’s products are extraordinarily good
and to find other suppliers that could match that quality was difficult,” Ziebell said
Yelloh’s shuttering was largely inevitable
a marketing professor at the University of Minnesota
Changing consumer behaviors coupled with growing competition
which only intensified when the coronavirus pandemic drove shoppers online
left the company unable to cope with its attrition rates — the speed at which it must replace customers who leave
Yelloh’s delivery and route sales model doesn’t work in 2024 when truck drivers knock on doors but everyone is at work or busy with other things
“You should be where the customer is going to be
In order for Yelloh to compete with the likes of Instacart
Fresh Direct and other food delivery platforms
it needed to radically change its business model to try to replicate those companies’ success — a costly gamble that requires deep pockets
“It’s a huge dilemma because you have to make the change before you start declining,” he said
Having lived in Minnesota for almost 40 years
John said Schwan’s was always a part of the landscape
the famous yellow trucks dotting roadways all over the region
But over time he noticed they had became less relevant
a partner at Deloitte Consulting focused on retail and consumer products
said that he could not speak directly to what exactly caused Yelloh’s demise but that it’s “very hard to sustain that business in a world where there’s more choice.” Johnson said he’s seen other frozen food companies that operated on a similar model change their practices to fit changing consumer demands
Without innovation in both the product and business model
a rebrand like the one Yelloh underwent was just a “fresh look or a fresh name for maybe a dusty business.”
“This morning I sat down to start working at 8:30
I ordered my Whole Foods delivery and it just arrived three hours later,” Johnson said
“It included a couple of frozen pizzas and some other foods and some frozen chicken nuggets for my kids
I can’t imagine a world where there is also a frozen food truck delivering to my house.”
Ziebell disagreed with the notion that the company had stagnated as it aged
adding that it was among the first to launch a retail website
The company experimented with different strategies
It added health-conscious options and leaned heavily into digital marketing
“I don’t think there’s anything else we could have done,” he said
a regional vice president for Yelloh who worked for the company for 29 years
adding that the company had simply “outran the business model.”
“The business model with the equipment that we had was not sustainable,” he said
“We took the milkman route and we innovated it better with the home delivery route with frozen food,” he said
Instacart have taken it to another level of delivery.”

calling it the “epicenter for community and economic development in southwestern Minnesota.”

There’s just one way Ian Schwan-Tetreault can describe being the head coach of the Burnt Hills-Ballston Lake boys’ varsity lacrosse team
And it's meant a lot to me since I've left
and it's just unbelievable,” Schwan-Tetreault said
“And it's really a unique opportunity to be back here doing it.”
The first-year Spartan head coach is taking over a program that was run by his father
The pair even faced off a couple times during Schwan-Tetreault’s three seasons as head coach up the road at Saratoga Springs
it's been a lot of fun,” Schwan-Tetreault said
big difference in the type of kid your coaching and type of kid you're teaching
It's just a matter of finding the type of guys that you want to have here that are going to work hard doing what they're doing.”
he isn’t quite staying fully away from the game
“That's been fun for me to kind of redefine my role on the sideline,” Schwan said
and back on the same team with Schwan now serving as a volunteer assistant coach for the program
“It's a dream come true for sure,” Schwan said
“I love my time here and retired as a Spartan
and so I feel blessed that I had the opportunity to return.”
“He's a wealth of knowledge and it's really helpful and awesome to be able to go up and say
and this during the game?’ And he comes up to you and says
This is what you should go look at,’ ” Schwan-Tetreault said
He's an extra resource for not only Schwan-Tetreault
who’s the head women’s lacrosse coach at Cortland
he’s volunteer assistant coaching with the Dragons
“The retirement part is an opportunity which turned out for me is to have kind of a second career
And it's been quite enjoyable,” Schwan said
Being on the same sideline as his son and daughter is something that means a lot to Tom
“I certainly never want to be on the opposite sideline again ever from either,” Schwan said
“It’s a lot of fun to be able to coach here with him again and do what we did a decade ago
And we were trying to grow the program,” Schwan-Tetreault said
formally known as "Schwan’s Home Delivery," is shutting down five locations across the Bluegrass State
I remember seeing the famous Schwan’s yellow trucks run up and down my neighborhood
My family often purchased products from the mobile frozen food palace
My parents bought their "Breaded Cheddar Cheese Curds" on several occasions
the company has just announced another round of closures
Schwan’s Home Delivery has been around for over 70 years, and in 2018, it sold multiple divisions to CJ CheilJedang
The home delivery service with the yellow trucks was not part of that sale
The company says that the division remains independent and owned by the Schwan family
changing the name from Schwan’s Home Delivery to "Yelloh." As of 2024
the company is still headquartered in Minnesota
Yelloh will be closing its doors to five Kentucky locations on July 27
The locations shutting down include centers in Bowling Green
The news outlet also reported that 51 employees will lose their jobs due to this most recent round of closures
with customers rating the company a 1.7 out of 5 stars
Consumers leaving reviews have cited higher costs
and bad customer service as the reasons behind their rating

Schwan’s Home Delivery has been around for over 70 years, and in 2018, it sold multiple divisions to CJ CheilJedang
The Minnesota company recently bought land for a $500 million plant first floated in 2021; it will hire up to 700 people.
Schwan’s is planning a massive Asian food plant in South Dakota as the company pursues its South Korean owner’s vision to be the “No. 1 provider of ethnic cuisine in the United States.”
The Bloomington-based company recently bought 142 acres in an industrial park in Sioux Falls where it intends to build a 700,000-square-foot production facility and employ 600 people.
When the project was first proposed in 2021, it had a price tag of about $500 million.
“Our investment in this world-class Asian-style food plant in South Dakota will help us strengthen our position in one of the fastest-growing food categories in the United States,” Schwan’s CEO Brian Schiegg said in a statement.
Schwan’s is also opening a regional office in downtown Sioux Falls that will employ 50 to 100 people.
No timeline was given for construction. When open, the plant will turn out Bibigo brand dumplings and other frozen and shelf-stable products.
“The ability to continue to scale our portfolio of products to meet the growing consumer demand is vitally important to our strategy,” Minsok Pak, CEO of Schwan’s parent company CJ Foods, said in a news release. “This facility will enable us to further accelerate the growth of K-Food and other Asian cuisines.”
South Korea’s CJ CheilJedang in 2019 bought a majority stake in Schwan’s for $1.8 billion.
Schwan’s makes Red Baron and Freschetta pizza, Pagoda egg rolls and a number of other products sold at grocery stores and in restaurants, schools and other food service outlets. The Schwan family still owns the home delivery business, now known as Yelloh.
The sale price for the land was not disclosed, but at the advertised rate of $4 per square foot it may have cost around $24 million. The project will include a new wastewater treatment facility on site to minimize impacts to existing infrastructure in South Dakota’s largest city.
South Dakota Gov. Kristi Noem hailed the investment, which she first highlighted in her State of the State Address in 2021, and said Schwan’s “has recognized the superior business climate that the state offers.”

Fashion is a canvas for the designer behind the namesake fashion brand
Her handcrafted works are expressions of her desire to make something beautiful
Physical spaces in L.A. have always been sacred. Ashley S.P. and Jennifer Zapata see their concept shop as a vehicle for community and an homage to their friendship.
Ashley S.P.: You’ve been rocking your signature orange hair since 2016. You can quickly notice the color is everywhere around you. What is it about orange?
ASP: It can fade to almost a sunset orange — you’ve mastered an ombre, basically! I can see how orange can be polarizing. The color is prevalent in your design language too — it pops up in your crochets, both big and small.
GS: I like that polarizing aspect of it. A lot of the time when I make stuff, it’s not like I have a set idea for colors usually. I just obviously gravitate toward orange, so it’s going to end up in there.
ASP: Is your crochet work something that was born of having time on your hands or something more precious, maybe a skill passed down to you?
GS: I was bored at home in Washington during COVID and was not into making full-on clothes, so I just watched the same YouTube video on crocheting for hours and learned.
‘No matter what I’m doing, you’ll always know where I’m from, my influences and my culture.’
ASP: When does a crochet feel like it’s done for you? Is there a method, or is it just a feeling, like, “I’m going to sew this final loop and that’s it”?
GS: It’s always been a feeling for some reason. I hate when people are like, “I’m a tastemaker,” but I’ve always had this innate sense — I just know when it looks good. If you work in fashion, you kind of have that eye for what works. And [my eye] got better, especially being around a lot of great designers [when I was working] in a store. I think that helped expand my idea of what I wanted clothing to look like, and what it could look like.
ASP: It’s the biggest jigsaw puzzle, fitting the pieces together.
GS: It’s interesting you say that because crocheting is kind of a puzzle in itself. That’s why I liked it, because I wanted to be making things from scratch, but I didn’t want to be constructing full-on pieces or just sewing. And when I found out how to crochet, it felt like I was building something. It’s a bit freer, because if you mess up a little bit, it’s easy to take apart. It’s easy to add on random bits, it’s just fun.
ASP: What keeps you patient in the crochet process?
GS: I’ve spent hours of my life in a ballet studio doing the same thing over and over again. So, in that respect, I don’t think about it. If I really want to make something, I will make it.
ASP: That discipline is ingrained in you basically, it is transferable. Are you still dancing?
ASP: During this time, when you were taking a break, did your fashion interest sort of peak?
The city of cement and angels loves some contrast. It loves a little industrial chic.
ASP: It’s interesting that you brought up the Virgo perfectionism because when I think of crocheting, I think of you having to make that perfect loop. To me, this is a perfection hobby, and ballet is a perfection sport. How does perfectionism inform your execution of things? Are we striving for that?
GS: You’re thinking, what’s wrong with this girl? It’s that thing that’s always in the back of my head. When I was younger, it was bad. I was obsessive, had to be perfect and get perfect grades. Then I went kind of opposite for a while because I needed to just chill out. I wasn’t dancing either. But then I started figuring out a different creative outlet — dance was a good one, but it just got to be a two-edged sword where it’s freeing, but not at all.
ASP: I assume there was something rigid and demanding about ballet that made it not freeing anymore.
“I don’t want to do what’s cool now because I’m always thinking ahead,” says Schwan. “It’s about using what you see now and what you see in the future.” Schwan wears a Gabrielle Schwan dress. (Fabian Guerrero / For The Times) ASP: “Just going for it” shows up in the fact that you don’t sketch anything before starting on a design too.
Artist Jacob Rochester’s portait, a subtle homage to the late Spanto, explores the lens of identity but by way of anonymity.
ASP: As a place you keep returning to, how does Los Angeles inspire your colors, your designs, your process? What does L.A. do for you?
“L.A. has done a lot for me. The environment in general put me in a place to start this new side of myself,” says Schwan. (Fabian Guerrero / For The Times) Ashley S.P. is a writer and the co-founder of Echo Park concept shop Género Neutral.

The Schwan Food Company is well known in the Bethany community
Not only is the company famous for its ice cream and delivery trucks
but it is also known to the College for another reason
founder and late president of the Schwan Food Company
was more than just a businessman—he was a strong Christian who was dedicated to spreading the Gospel
At the Bethany commencement ceremony on May 16
a 1949 graduate of Bethany Lutheran College
was honored with the Distinguished Alumnus Award for his generosity toward the college and his dedication to the work of the Church throughout his life
accepted the award on behalf of the Schwan family
pointing out that Marvin was very humble and always wanted the focus to be on the One Thing Needful rather than on himself
Marvin Schwan showed generosity toward Bethany
He began by sending ice cream to the Bethany food service
he helped establish the first Reserve Fund
which helped Bethany earn North Central Accreditation
Schwan helped plan and fund the construction of the Ylvisaker Fine Arts Center
Not only did he give gifts to the college during this time
but he also challenged his fellow alumni to donate as well
Schwan’s generosity toward Bethany is apparent not only in the physical expansion of the campus
but also in the way he supported scholarship funds
He helped motivate Bethany to work for a broader support base so that the institution could survive into the twenty-first century
Schwan funded mission work in countries around the world as well as home missions
“Marvin wanted to spread the gospel to people all over the world.” According to Alfred Schwan
the most outstanding thing about Marvin—more outstanding than his business accomplishments and humble nature—was “his tremendous love for his Lord Jesus Christ.”

After 14 years at the top, Roche Chief Executive Officer Severin Schwan will step down from his role at the helm of the Swiss pharma giant next year
along with the company’s half-year financial results for 2022
He will become the new chairman of the company’s board of directors upon the retirement of current chair Christoph Franz
As Schwan prepares to step aside from the day-to-day leadership of Roche
Thomas Schinecker is waiting in the wings to assume the company’s top leadership spot
The change in leadership is set for March 2023
Schinecker is currently CEO of the company’s diagnostics division
including global head of the diagnostics division’s centralized and point-of-care solutions business
who has been Roche CEO since 2014 and with the company since 1993
called Schinecker “a highly qualified successor” who has been a key member of the company’s leadership team and has built its diagnostics division into a global powerhouse
“Thomas successfully set up our Diagnostics Division for the future
Under his leadership our Diagnostics organization also made considerable contributions in fighting the COVID-19 pandemic,” Schwan said
Schinecker said he was honored by the board’s decision to name him as Schwan’s successor
“I am delighted to carry on working closely with Roche colleagues and the corporate executive committee
I am excited about the future innovations we will bring to patients around the globe,” Schinecker said in a statement
Roche purchased that stake for $20.7 billion in order to gain full strategic flexibility
pharma and diagnostics,” Schwan told the Times
“I don’t see any structural or other changes on a strategic level with the appointment of Thomas Schinecker.”
Schwan also said he was honored to be asked to take over as chairman and pledged to continue to devote all of his efforts to Roche’s future
As Schwan prepares to take on the role of chairman of the board of directors
who decided against seeking re-election to the position
Franz has served as chairman since 2014 and has been on the board since 2011
Franz said the company has “achieved many important milestones” but now was the right time for a leadership change
“I am proud of the significant contributions Roche has made in fighting the pandemic during the last two and a half years
I am also pleased that we could secure long term stability in our shareholder structure with the repurchase of Roche shares from Novartis,” Franz said in a statement
“With the strong pipelines of innovative products in both our Pharma and Diagnostic businesses
we are set for continued growth in the future.”
Roche released its financial results from the first half of 2022 Thursday morning
despite the effects of the waning COVID-19 pandemic and an increase in biosimilars
The company said it expects sales of both COVID-19 medicines and diagnostics to decrease by approximately $2 billion to $5 billion
It also expects biosimilars to decrease sales by about $2.5 billion for the year
Schwan said on the conference call that the company has seen “good
This is largely due to a 5% increase in sales
“We achieved good results in the first half of the year
thanks to the continued strong demand for our diagnostics base business and our new medicines to treat haemophilia
Thanks to the ongoing renewal of our portfolio
whose impact declined further as expected,” Schwan said
Roche announced it has stopped five different clinical trials
These include the Akt kinase inhibitor ipatasertib (RG7440) in two separate trials
one studying its effects in prostate cancer and the other in solid tumors and castration-resistant prostate cancer (CRPC)
which was in a Phase II trial for breast cancer
Schwan’s positive outlook is largely due to the company’s accomplishments so far this year
These include EU approvals of Polivy (first-line treatment for an aggressive form of blood cancer)
Lunsumio (follicular lymphoma) and Tecentriq (early-stage lung cancer); an EU marketing authorization application submitted for glofitamab (blood cancer); US approval of Evrysdi (babies under two months of age with spinal muscular atrophy) and US priority review for Lunsumio
Roche also touted its launch of “innovative platforms and systems for tissue-based cancer diagnostics
of HPV self-sampling solution and monkeypox virus test kits,” as markers of its success
and expects these platforms to continue to develop as the year unfolds

the Glowy Blur Stick combines the benefits of a color cosmetic with advanced active skincare formulations
including ingredients such as jojoba and cocoa butter
and other moisturizing and skin-protecting components
The vegan Glow Blur Stick can be applied directly on the skin without any makeup tools
The product can be buffed out with a finger for a sheer to medium coverage result
The product can be manufactured in Schwan Cosmetics’ US-based factory
and packaging formats for the North American market will be available
The Glowy Blur Stick is one of several innovations in the company’s Color & Care strategy. Schwan Cosmetics says it will continue to include more advanced skincare ingredients as interest in multi-purpose products from both brands and consumers continues to rise
“The demand for care ingredients in makeup has skyrocketed,” says Stefanie Strittmatter, Director Global Category Management Lip at Schwan Cosmetics
we want to demonstrate that with a robust scientific approach and advanced care ingredients
color cosmetics can achieve noticeable skincare results with the same level of efficacy as skin care products themselves,” concludes Strittmatter
