Arbonia Group

What Arbonia Group does

Arbonia AG is a Swiss-listed building components manufacturer headquartered in Arbon, Switzerland, that completed a strategic transformation in February 2025 by divesting its Climate Division to Midea Group for EUR 760 million and refocusing entirely on interior doors, functional doors, partition wall systems, and shower enclosures. Following the divestiture the company operates with approximately 3,000 employees across a network of wholly-owned subsidiaries and an umbrella of 17 profiled brands, including Glassysteme, Interwand, joro, TPO, Swiss, PRÜM, GARANT, Griffwerk, Dimoldura, Lignis, and Cicomol, with production facilities in Switzerland, Germany, Spain, Portugal, and the Czech Republic. The core product portfolio spans standard and premium CPL interior doors, fire-protection, sound-insulation, and security functional doors, digital locking systems, linoleum doors (a sustainability-focused line), glass and metal partition wall systems, walk-in showers and shower doors, plus the DIETÜR online configuration tool used by architects and planners to specify doors digitally.

The business model is a hybrid B2B specification-and-project-driven sale of one-time physical product purchases, with revenue generated through direct enterprise project sales to architects, interior architects, and project developers, complemented by wholesale and specialist-retailer channels, and supported by a self-serve online tool for smaller buyers. Pricing is project- and quote-based, reflecting customized specifications, volumes, and functional requirements (fire, sound, accessibility). The customer base spans education, healthcare, hospitality, office, residential, and cultural-construction end markets across 12 disclosed European countries (Switzerland, Germany, Austria, Netherlands, Belgium, France, Spain, Portugal, Italy, Czech Republic, Poland, Sweden), with go-to-market supported by individualized consulting, the ArboniaNext congress (launched 2025), webinars, an active content blog, and event-led engagement with the architectural community. In 2024 the doors business generated CHF 556.3 million in revenue, growing 12.3% to CHF 624 million-plus in 2025 with EBITDA of CHF 56.3 million, while four cross-border acquisitions (Dimoldura and Lignis in May 2024, Cicomol and RZB in October 2025) expanded geographic reach and vertical integration into metal door frames.
