Bau Power Group

What Bau Power Group does

Bau Power Group AG is a Swiss construction equipment distributor and rental operator headquartered in Altstätten (St. Gallen canton) with operational presence across Switzerland, Liechtenstein, Austria, and the United Arab Emirates through its Bau Power Middle East subsidiary. The company specializes in two niches: trench shoring (Grabenverbau) systems and ground protection (Bodenschutz) products, serving primarily construction companies, civil engineering firms, event organizers, municipalities, and equipment rental companies. It claims to operate the largest excavation support warehouse (Verbaulager) in Switzerland and supports customers with a documented 9-location footprint.

Its product catalog combines proprietary lines (BPG Easy Verbau plastic shoring system, BPG UV Lite Track and BPG UV Fahrplatte Professional Light ground protection plates, BPG Xtreme Mats rated to 415 tonnes per plate) with exclusive distribution of international brands (Oxford Plastics LowPro, Ischebeck Titan, FODS, Ground Guards, Ground Protect, RID, TWF, Atlas Copco). The offering spans steel and plastic trench boxes, sliding rails, road plates, FODS dirt mats, power generators (RID portfolio with 60+ units), compressors (Atlas Copco XAS series), LED light masts, hybrid systems, and mobile diesel particulate filters. Underlying technology centers on modular composite materials, UV-stabilized polymers, and load-engineered structural systems ranging from 1.6-tonne pedestrian-rated covers to 200-tonne steel access plates.

Revenue is generated through usage-based rental (large Mietpark with annual price lists for construction, events, and large projects), one-time sales of new equipment (quote-based pricing), a used equipment marketplace (Gebrauchtmarkt), and professional services including CAD excavation planning, installation/removal, transport organization, the Verbaubank material storage service, maintenance/repair, and certified training via the BPG Online Akademie. The go-to-market is sales-led through three regional Gebietsverkaufsleiter covering defined Swiss cantons (German and French-speaking territories plus a dedicated Events role), supported by inside sales in Zurich and Chavornay, with an e-commerce quote request channel and direct sales through the RAMAT SARL subsidiary in Western Switzerland. Founder-owned and privately held since 2010 (originally Power4Rent), the company is led by Rene Jauk (Owner/CEO), Karmen Bule (CFO), and Stephan Werthmüller (COO), with no disclosed external investors.
