New Ownership structure in The Global Philatelic Network*
Recently the final auction of the ERIVAN collections closed the series of sales following the death of Erivan Haub in 2018. It was also an end-state for the community of heirs of Erivan Haub (1932–2018) for their ownership in the companies operating the auction houses. Following the end of the sales, the community of heirs sold their shares.
The new owner is a German family entrepreneur, and a passionate collector who is well connected in the philatelic industry. The shareholder structure of The Global Philatelic Network remains unchanged with Dieter Michelson, Karl Louis, Tobias Huylmans, and Jonas Hällström with 49%, together with the new owner who bought the 51% from the community of heirs of Erivan Haub.
“Following the changes in the executive management made during 2023, this change should be perceived as the second step in shaping the future of The Global Philatelic Network“, says the three Managing Directors of the Group, Dieter Michelson, Tobias Huylmans, and Jonas Hällström.
