This does not answer your exact question which is how to force a reload of the current view, but have you considered adding the current company identifier to your route(s)? This will solve your problem and make your routes bookmarkable: ie: /#/company1/view1 and /#/company2/view1. When you change the company in the drop-down you call router.navigate() with the new route and the new view will be loaded/refreshed.

To answer your exact question, I tested the router.navigate options: router.navigate('myroute', {replace:true, trigger:true}) and none of them force a reload of the view if the right view is already loaded. By appending ?ramdomNumber to your route name you can force a reactivation of the view.
