FAMILY-CONTROLLED Swiss elevator and escalator group Schindler Holding plans to force anyone amassing at least half its share capital to make a mandatory offer to all other holders of shares and non-voting certificates, it said.

The move, which protects the interests of minority investors, will be put to shareholders at an extraordinary meeting on Aug 11, it said last Friday.
