happy holidays
2025 was a year of progress and innovation for RAHN. From remarkable product launches to strategic steps toward global expansion, we strengthened our foundation for future growth. As we look ahead to 2026, our commitment to customers, partners, and sustainability remains stronger than ever.
As the year draws to a close and the festive season begins soon, I would like to take this opportunity to express my sincere gratitude to our customers, partners, and the entire RAHN team for their trust, support, and strong commitment throughout 2025.
The year 2025 has been a defining one for the RAHN-Group, marked by significant achievements and progress on our strategic roadmap, but also with its share of external challenges caused by geopolitical and trade tensions.
In the Cosmetics division, we laid the foundation for future growth with the independent positioning and separate focus of our RAHN-Cosmetic Actives and traded products respectively. The successful market introductions of YERBALUXE®-CROWN and YERBALUXE®-PEARL demonstrated again the innovation potential of RAHN. These reflect our combined commitment to innovation, sustainability, and customer focus.
In EnergyCuring, we continued to advance our strategic roadmap and took the first steps toward further geographical expansion to better serve our customers worldwide. This year, we proudly introduced six innovative products, including the recently launched GENOMER* 4270 whose outstanding mechanical properties will meet many of the toughness requirements of the Additive Manufacturing industry.
All these achievements would not have been possible without the amazing contribution and commitment from our Finance, HR, ICT and Process, Logistics and all the supporting functions.
Looking ahead to 2026, we will continue to invest in our people, capabilities, and markets to better serve our valued customers and partners.
On behalf of the entire RAHN-Group, I wish you and your loved ones a joyful Christmas season and a healthy, successful New Year. We look forward to achieving new milestones together in 2026.
Best regards,
Xavier Marguerettaz
CEO, Vice President EnergyCuring
If you could spend Christmas anywhere in the world, where would it be?
" Lapland, Finland – Christmas in a cosy wooden cabin, surrounded by snowy trees, with my partner and our dog – pure magic! Hot chocolate in hand, northern lights above, and reindeer outside – which our dog is convinced are fancy new playmates.
A sleigh ride to Santa’s village and peaceful silence… until someone starts chasing snowballs again. A fairytale Christmas with a touch of joyful chaos – sounds like fun to me! "
Eliane Valenti

" N’importe où car l’esprit de Noël c’est lever les yeux pour profiter des lumières et des sourires que cette Magie engendre! "
"Anywhere, because the spirit of Christmas is about looking up to enjoy the lights and the smiles that this Magic brings! "
Sylvie Baduel
Direction RAHN FR
" Australia, Sydney: I've never been there, and it would be so much fun to see the Christmas season in mid-summer style – "sweaty" jumpers? "
Sjoerd Romkes
Commercial Director EnergyCuring
" I would love to spend Christmas in a snow-covered mountain cabin, with a roaring fire, lots of Christmas decorations, delicious food and, most importantly, all my loved ones. Getting up in the morning and going out into the snow – “Who can make the best snow angel?” – then coming back inside to warm up, play games, bake and cook together, and just relax and unwind. "
Anja Haack
Senior Business Development Manager Cosmetic Actives
What’s the most memorable gift you’ve ever received – or given?
" One of my favourite Christmas memories/gifts was in 2007 with my 12-year-old nephew Maurice. We went snowboarding and stayed at a friend’s house in Austria, where we also celebrated Christmas. They had a tradition that the youngest person decorates the Christmas tree, so Moni – my friend, about 29 at the time – and Maurice took care of it together. Afterwards, Maurice placed lots of candles in the snow-covered garden. It was his first holiday away from home, and everyone was so kind to him."
Ivonne Habkemeyer
Technical Sales Manager Cosmetics
" I wouldn’t know if it’s the most memorable one, but I created a homemade advent calendar for my nephews this year – everything from scratch, even the little house where I put all the gifts inside – so it is definitely one I will remember. "
Doriane Burgat
Marketing & Event Manager
What’s your go-to comfort food/film during the holidays?
" A moment I look forward to all year is when persimmons (kaki) and pitahayas (dragon fruit) are finally in season again. One is sweet, the other has a delicate taste. Moreover, pitahayas look super festive – their snowy white flesh with tiny black seeds and bright pinkish-red skin reminds me of Christmas decorations. "
Sanja Davidovic
Manager Safety & Regulatory Affairs Cosmetics
" I will watch one of my favourite films, Remember the Titans, again this year. For me, it is a very emotional film that contains lots of important values. This is why I watch it alone with some finger food and a nice drink… it’s just me and the story. "
Roman Ott
Head of Technical Services Cosmetics
" My comfort films are the Lord of the Rings trilogy (preferably as a marathon), of course while eating delicious homemade cookies. "
Elisa Starace
Expert Raw Material & Actives Development
" My go-to winter comforts include a wide variety of cookies and hot drinks, with or without milk, to stay warm on the ski slopes. For Christmas, I especially look forward to a perfectly cooked cordon bleu and lovely conversations with my family. "
Pascal Wyss

What’s your personal wish or intention for 2026?
" If I refer to the current year and imagine what I wish for myself next year, it would certainly be less hustle, a lot of mindfulness, and for time not to fly by so quickly. Life has so much to offer that it is important for me to enjoy it in an appropriate way and not get distracted by insignificant things. There is a lot of exciting work to do, and I am looking forward to it. "
René Guldimann
Vice President Cosmetic
" What a fantastic way to close the year – united, creative, and full of energy! Wishing everyone all the best for the season. Let’s keep this great teamwork going and make the new year even more successful together! "
Pia Zaugg
Head of Customer Service Cosmetics
" Our wish for 2026: a year of growth, happiness, good health, and exciting opportunities that inspire and challenge us. "
Ardiana Mustafa
Product Manager Cosmetics
" 2026 will be a decisive year for the COS-division, with ambitious goals and high growth expectations. “Together stronger” will not be a slogan but the way we turn them into success. "
Féryel Adam
Strategic Growth Manager
" Personally, I would like to remodel my flat, and professionally, I would enjoy taking on new responsibilities. "

Who or what inspired you most this year?
" I was inspired by so many successful and talented women (Rihanna, Huda Kattan, our Emina Besic 😉 and my mom of course!) "
Mariem Aïdoudi
Technical Sales Manager Cosmetics
" This year’s autumn was truly inspiring, as the forests revealed their spectacular colours beyond green. It reminds me that even seasons with limited daylight can hold a special kind of beauty. "
