Dr. jur. Heinz Anterist founded InterGest with a clear purpose: supporting businesses as they expanded into foreign markets. It was the start of a practice built on structure, compliance, and local understanding.
From the beginning, the focus was on making cross-border growth manageable. That principle still shapes every service InterGest offers today.
France, 1972
InterGest began building an international network of partners through a franchise system. This allowed the company to serve clients in multiple locations rather than from a single office.
For businesses, it meant local expertise on the ground in each market, backed by one consistent standard of service.
InterGest established a presence in the United Kingdom, extending its reach into one of the leading business hubs in Europe. It was a natural step as demand for cross-border support grew.
The UK office strengthened InterGest as a bridge for companies looking to expand across borders and regions.
Heinz Anterist handed the management of InterGest to his son, Peter Anterist. The transition kept the values and vision of the company intact while bringing in a new generation of leadership.
Under Peter Anterist, InterGest continued to grow its network and deepen its expertise in international expansion.
Sam Yuan began leading the expansion of InterGest into China, opening a major new region for the network. It marked the first significant move of the company into Asia.
The expansion widened the range of markets InterGest could support and added new perspective to its global approach.
China, 2004InterGest Worldwide was founded as the umbrella company for the global organization. Prof. Peter Anterist, Nils Blunck, and Dr. Alberto Canova became its general managers.
The new structure brought the international network together under one shared direction, making it easier to deliver consistent service across borders.
InterGest marked its 50th anniversary, five decades after Heinz Anterist founded the company. The milestone reflects long-standing trust from clients and partners around the world.
It also sets the foundation for the next chapter: continuing to help businesses enter, operate, and grow in new markets, including Canada.
