Fanger Elementtechnik

What Fanger Elementtechnik does

Fanger Elementtechnik AG is a Swiss family-owned construction services provider founded in 1940 and headquartered in Sachseln, Canton of Obwalden, with production facilities in both Sachseln and Giswil. The company specializes in the design, manufacture, transport, and on-site assembly of prefabricated concrete elements, serving infrastructure, residential, industrial/commercial, and modular construction projects primarily across Central Switzerland and the wider Swiss market. Ownership sits with the founding Fanger family; Fredy Fanger serves as Chairman/Owner and the company employs approximately 50 people across management, production, project engineering, finance, HR, and marketing functions.

The company operates a vertically integrated one-stop-shop model covering consultation, planning, manufacturing, transport, and assembly. Core production capabilities include custom concrete formulation using regional aggregates and Swiss cement, supported by a 692 kWp photovoltaic installation generating 600,000 kWh annually (powering approximately 160 households in Obwalden) and a groundwater-fed heat pump system used for year-round facility temperature control without fossil fuels. The product portfolio spans infrastructure elements (underpasses, culverts, tunnel elements, bridge components, retaining walls, natural stone walls), residential elements (facades, balconies, prestressed ribbed slabs, walls, stairs, elevator shafts), industrial/commercial elements (beams, columns, cladding), modular technical cabins, and custom design elements, with in-house gravel extraction and concrete production at Giswil.

Revenue is generated through project-based hardware sales — quote-based contracts for custom-fabricated concrete elements delivered with installation services. Distribution is exclusively direct-to-enterprise via direct project engagement with construction companies, municipalities, and infrastructure developers. Pricing is not publicly disclosed and contracts are project-specific. Marketing is light-touch (website, LinkedIn, Instagram, newsletter) and the company holds SÜGB certifications covering both precast concrete elements and the Giswil concrete plant under EN 206-2013/A2:2021.

• Marti AG Bern: Marti is one of Switzerland's largest construction groups with deep civil-engineering, tunneling and infrastructure capabilities, directly competing for large-scale public tenders and frequently integrating precast elements like those Fanger produces.
• Implenia AG: Implenia is Switzerland's largest construction services company, active in infrastructure, residential and commercial construction — frequently procuring precast elements and directly competing for the same large-scale tenders as Fanger, especially in tunnel and civil-engineering segments.
• Holcim AG: Holcim is the Swiss-headquartered global leader in cement, aggregates and ready-mix concrete with growing precast and modular construction offerings; it competes with Fanger across Swiss infrastructure and commercial construction but at vastly larger scale and with broader geographic reach.
• Losinger Marazzi AG: Losinger Marazzi is a leading Swiss general contractor (Bouygues Construction subsidiary) operating across residential, commercial and infrastructure construction, frequently integrating precast concrete elements and overlapping with Fanger's customer base of developers and infrastructure clients.

Direct peers
