What Swisspor does

Swisspor AG is a privately held Swiss manufacturer, founded in 1976 and headquartered in Steinhausen, that develops, produces, and supplies products and systems for the energy-efficient building envelope. The company operates within the swisspor Gruppe, with production facilities in Boswil and Châtel-Saint-Denis, and serves customers across Switzerland as its core market plus export channels into Germany, Austria, and Italy. End-customers span architects, contractors, and building developers, with reference projects across commercial real estate (e.g., BäreTower Bern, CERES Tower Pratteln), healthcare (Kantonsspital Winterthur), government infrastructure (OFROU highways, Luftwaffe), and sports/religious facilities.

The product portfolio is organized as a multi-technology building envelope platform. Core insulation chemistries include expanded polystyrene (EPS), extruded polystyrene (XPS), polyisocyanurate (PIR), stone and glass mineral wool (ROC, GLASS), and vacuum insulation panels (VIP), complemented by an eco-recycling line (ECORIT, swissporRecycling). Waterproofing is delivered through the BIKUTOP polymer-bitumen membrane family, solvent-free liquid plastics (FLK 1K/2K), and pipe-insulation systems (KISODUR). Three integrated system solutions — swissporTETTO (steep roofs), swissporVENTO (ventilated façades), and swissporSAFSYS (DEKRA-certified fall protection) — bundle these components into specification-ready assemblies, supplemented by swissporBefTec fastening technology and modular swissporBOARD wet-room systems. Two digital tools, the swissporConfigurator and the swissporSAFSYS Montage-App, extend the platform into planning and installation documentation.

The business model is direct B2B sales of physical building materials and integrated systems, priced by quote through a regional customer-advisor network organized by Swiss postal code, with multi-year contracts, downloadable price lists, and raw-material surcharge mechanisms (updated April 2026). Revenue is not publicly disclosed. Distribution is single-country domestic plus selective export; the Technical Academy (including mobile training courses) and the "Zukunft Bauen" podcast support specification-side engagement with construction professionals.

Core offering

Swisspor is a Swiss manufacturer of thermal insulation and waterproofing products for the building envelope. The company produces expanded polystyrene (EPS), extruded polystyrene (XPS), polyisocyanurate (PIR), mineral wool, glass wool, and vacuum insulation panels, alongside polymer-modified bitumen sealing membranes, liquid plastics, and pipe insulation. It also delivers integrated system solutions for flat roofs (swissporVENTO), pitched roofs (swissporTETTO), ventilated facades, and DEKRA-certified fall protection (swissporSAFSYS), plus digital planning and assembly documentation tools.

Product overview

Swisspor is a leading Swiss manufacturer of products and systems for the energy-efficient building envelope. The product portfolio is organized as a platform of interrelated building material systems that work together comprehensively. Core insulation products (swissporEPS, swissporLAMBDA, swissporTERA, swissporPIR, swissporXPS, swissporECORIT, swissporROC, swissporGLASS, swissporVIP) provide thermal insulation solutions for all building applications. These are complemented by sealing systems (swissporBIKUTOP LL, swissporBIKUTOP, swissporBIKUTOP PRO AQUA, swissporBIKUTOP ECO) for bituminous waterproofing, liquid plastics (swissporFLK 1K, swissporFLK 2K) for detail waterproofing, and pipe insulation (swissporKISODUR, swissporKISODUR Alu). The swissporBOARD system provides modular building boards for wet rooms, while swissporAIROFOM offers construction protection. Three integrated system applications—swissporVENTO (ventilated facades), swissporTETTO (steep roofs), and swissporSAFSYS (fall protection safety)—combine multiple products into complete building envelope solutions. Supporting services include the swissporConfigurator digital planning tool and swissporSAFSYS Montage-App for digital documentation. The company also offers comprehensive recycling services through swissporRecycling. All products are developed and manufactured in Switzerland.
