Glattwerk

What Glattwerk does

Glattwerk AG is a Swiss regional multi-utility company headquartered in Dübendorf, Switzerland, providing integrated telecommunications, electricity, gas, and heating services to approximately 19,000 electricity meter points across five municipalities (Dübendorf, Gockhausen, Wangen-Brüttisellen, Wallisellen, Dietlikon). The telecommunications portfolio includes FTTH/XGS-PON fiber internet (glattnet, up to 10 Gbps), IPTV with 310+ channels (glattvision+, glattvision), VoIP telephony (glattphone), and mobile services (glattmobile) resold via a Quickline/Sunrise partnership, plus business products such as Dark Fiber, SIP-Trunk, Local PBX, and web hosting (glatthosting). The energy division operates an owned electricity grid (supplied via EKZ at 16 kV), natural gas supply (glattgas, 17% biogas-blended), and district heating including a cold district heating network sourced from ARA Neugut wastewater and the new Fernwärme Dübendorf CO2-neutral project recovering waste heat from Vantage Data Centers in partnership with Energie 360°.

The company owns a 400+ kWp photovoltaic fleet across its buildings and operates 22 heat centers, while delivering EV charging infrastructure (Ladelösungen and public fast-charging at Bettlistrasse) and energy community billing services for self-consumption (EVG/vEVG) and local electricity communities (LEG, operational January 2026). Smart Meter eRS801 deployment is at 86% completion (17,236 units) toward the Swiss Energiestrategie 2050 mandate of 80% by 2027, feeding consumption data to the MyEnergy customer portal.

The business model is subscription/recurring-revenue dominant, with monthly telecom plans, quarterly metered energy billing, municipal public-lighting service contracts, and heat contracting agreements. The GTM motion is hybrid: direct-to-consumer via website, MyEnergy portal, and local presence for residential and SMB customers, complemented by field/enterprise sales for business solutions (Dark Fiber, SIP-Trunk, EV charging infrastructure, heat contracting, energy community billing). Customer base spans residential (Privatkunden), SMB and mid-market business (Geschäftskunden, including housing cooperatives, property managers, and pharmacies), and municipal contracts (City of Dübendorf public lighting). The company is structured as a Swiss Aktiengesellschaft with no disclosed parent, investors, or external funding.

Direct peers

• Stadtwerk Winterthur: Multi-utility owned by the City of Winterthur providing electricity, gas, district heating, telecom (fiber), and e-mobility to a similar mid-sized Swiss municipality. Closest direct peer to Glattwerk in terms of integrated utility scope, regional focus, and customer mix (residential + SMB + municipal).
• Energie 360°: Swiss energy and heating utility focused on renewable gases, district heating, and e-mobility; joint development partner with Glattwerk on the Fernwärme Dübendorf project. Comparable in district heating, renewable gas, and decarbonization services targeting Swiss municipal markets.
• Quickline: Swiss cooperative of regional cable and telecom providers offering internet, TV, mobile, and telephony. Partner to Glattwerk for glattmobile and comparable to the telecom-side offering of regional utilities with bundled fixed/mobile services.

Broad incumbents

• ewz (Elektrizitätswerk der Stadt Zürich): Municipal utility of the City of Zürich providing electricity, fiber (ZüriNet), district heating, and e-mobility at much larger scale. Comparable product portfolio and integrated utility model, but operates with national-scale resources and brand recognition.
• EKZ (Elektrizitätswerke des Kantons Zürich): Cantonal electricity supplier and grid operator that serves as Glattwerk's upstream electricity supplier. Comparable in electricity distribution and renewable energy offerings (solar, energy communities), but at significantly larger cantonal scale.
• Swisscom: Switzerland's incumbent telecom operator providing fixed broadband, mobile, TV, and enterprise services nationally. Direct competitor to glattnet, glattvision+, glattphone, and glattmobile across Glattwerk's service territory, with significantly larger scale.
• Sunrise UPC: National mobile and fixed-network operator whose infrastructure underpins glattmobile via Quickline. Direct competitor to Glattwerk's telecom offerings and a benchmark for national telecom pricing/marketing.

Regional players

• IWB (Industrielle Werke Basel): Multi-utility for the Basel region providing electricity, natural gas, district heating, telecom, and e-mobility. Comparable integrated utility structure and service portfolio, but serving a different Swiss region.
• Energie Wasser Bern (ewb): Multi-utility providing electricity, gas, district heating, water, fiber optic, and e-mobility in the Bern region. Comparable integrated utility model with similar product breadth and municipal ownership profile.
• Werke am Zürichsee (WaZ): Regional utility serving municipalities around the upper Lake Zurich area with electricity, water, and fiber optic services. Closely comparable to Glattwerk in regional scope, integrated utility offerings, and customer base.
