Revenue model

1. Construction Project Contracts: Morand generates revenue through fixed-price and cost-plus project contracts for metal construction services. Projects span new build, renovation, and special works — charpentes métalliques, façades métalliques, serrurerie, and ouvrages d'art. Revenue is earned through direct engagement with developers, architects, public entities, and industrial clients across Swiss Romandy.

Core offering

Morand Constructions Métalliques designs, fabricates, and installs structural steel and aluminum constructions for buildings, bridges, facades, and special works across French-speaking Switzerland. Its portfolio covers steel frameworks, metal facade systems, architectural metalwork, and high-altitude assembly projects, delivered as vertically integrated project contracts from feasibility through on-site installation using its 8,000+ m² Enney production facility.

Product overview

Morand Constructions Métalliques is a Swiss metal construction company offering a portfolio of specialized services organized around five core offerings: Charpentes métalliques (steel structural frameworks), Façades métalliques (metal facade systems), Serrurerie (architectural metalwork), Ouvrages d'art et travaux spéciaux (art bridges and special structural works), and Surélévations (building vertical extensions). The De A à Z service wraps these capabilities into a comprehensive project delivery model—covering feasibility, engineering, fabrication in their 8,000 m² Enney production facility, and on-site assembly—positioning Morand as a single-source provider for complex metal construction projects in French-speaking Switzerland.

Products and services

• Charpentes métalliques (Steel structural frameworks) Steel structural frameworks for industrial buildings, bridges, pedestrian walkways, portals, and multi-story structures, manufactured in-house at the Enney workshops to EN 1090 standard at execution class EXC4 (the highest level). Targeted at construction firms, architects, developers, and public authorities across Swiss Romandy.
• Façades métalliques (Metal facade systems) Metal facade systems including steel sheet cladding, sandwich panels, curtain wall systems with aluminum mullion-transom frames, and ventilated facades with steel sheet finishes, engineered for architectural, physical, thermal, and economic performance. Produced at Enney workshops. Targeted at building developers, architects, and industrial/commercial enterprises seeking durable, sustainable envelopes.
• Serrurerie (Architectural metalwork) Architectural metalwork including spiral staircases, doors and glazing, fire-rated partitions, and glass guardrails, fabricated from steel, aluminum, or stainless steel combined with glass in the Enney workshops. Targeted at architects, real estate developers, and commercial building owners.
• Ouvrages d'art et travaux spéciaux (Special structural works) Special structural works including bridges, seismic strengthening of existing buildings, cable car stations, radar station structures, and private helipads, spanning concept, fabrication, and on-site assembly for extreme or challenging projects. Targeted at public authorities, mountain tourism operators, and developers of complex infrastructure.
• Surélévations (Building vertical extensions) Vertical extension and building elevation services for existing structures, enabling densification of built zones while limiting concrete use, using prefabricated elements from Enney workshops to reduce intervention time and site disruption. Targeted at property developers and building owners seeking to add floors to existing structures.
• De A à Z (Full-cycle project management) Comprehensive project management service covering feasibility studies, preliminary design, budget development, technical alternatives, structural calculation, detailed engineering, fabrication in the 8,000 m² Enney production hall, aluminum fabrication at the Vallorbe branch, and on-site assembly. Positions Morand as a single-source provider for complex metal construction projects.

Partnerships

Four partnerships are on record, tiered minor and core.

• Fédération Patronale et Économique (FPE)minorGTM or Marketing Partner · 1 February 2026Morand hosted the launch evening of the 'Piliers du Comptoir Gruérien 2026' at its Enney production facility, organized by the Fédération Patronale et Économique. The event gathered key regional economic, institutional, political, sporting, and cultural actors. Morand also participates in ArtÔfact, a project pairing local artists with companies to showcase craftsmanship.
• EPFL (École Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne)coreTechnology or Integration · 1 January 2023EPFL partnered with Morand to develop and deploy Kromatix colored photovoltaic glass panels — a new technology using cathodic sputtering to color glass — applied to the DIMAB Rossens building facade. This generates 91.64 MWh/year, avoiding 35.92 tonnes CO2 annually. The partnership represents Morand's most advanced sustainable facade technology integration.
• DIMAB GroupecoreStrategic or Co-development Partner · 1 January 2023DIMAB Groupe (founded 1894, Rossens) commissioned Morand to build its Green Building certified garage using XCarb 100% recycled steel and Kromatix colored photovoltaic facades. Morand used this project to pioneer Switzerland's first decarbonized steel structure. Both companies prioritized local suppliers and short supply chains.
• École du Métal (Bulle)coreStrategic or Co-development Partner · 1 January 2005Morand co-founded and co-financed the École du Métal in Bulle in 2005 with three other Fribourg companies. The school trains future metal constructor and metal drafting apprentices. In 2021, the partner companies further expanded training offerings by creating a new drawing/construction school within the same facility. École du Métal is unique in Switzerland.

Direct peers

• Sottas SA: Swiss structural steel and metal construction firm headquartered in Bulle (Fribourg canton), directly competing with Morand in the same Swiss Romandy geography for charpentes métalliques, facades, and special works projects with comparable scale and EN 1090 execution capability.
• Anliker AG: Swiss metal and steel construction firm with operations across Switzerland, providing structural steelwork, metal facades, and architectural metalwork; comparable in service breadth and target market (Swiss construction firms and developers) though geographically broader than Morand's Romandy focus.
• Zwahlen & Mayr SA: Swiss steel construction company based in Aigle (Vaud), one of the closest direct competitors to Morand in French-speaking Switzerland, offering structural steelwork, metal facades, and special works for infrastructure and buildings with comparable EN 1090 certifications.
• Burri Public Elements AG: Swiss manufacturer of public infrastructure elements including metal bridges, canopies, and architectural metalwork; competes with Morand's ouvrages d'art and special works division for public authority tenders across Switzerland.

Broad incumbents

• Implenia AG: Switzerland's largest construction and real estate services group (SIX-listed), active in structural engineering including steel construction and bridges across all Swiss regions; competes for some of the same large infrastructure and building tenders as Morand but offers a full-service construction portfolio.
• Marti Bauunternehmung AG: Swiss construction group with strong civil engineering and bridge-building capabilities including structural steelwork; competes for the same public infrastructure and mountain construction projects as Morand but offers broader construction services beyond metalwork.
• Walo Bertschinger AG: Major Swiss general contractor active in civil engineering, bridges, and structural works across Switzerland; competes with Morand on public infrastructure tenders (bridges, footbridges) and large-scale construction projects, though as a generalist rather than metalwork specialist.
• Freyssinet SAS: Global specialist in structural engineering including prestressed concrete, cable-stayed bridges, and structural steelwork; comparable for major bridge projects like Pont de la Barboleuse, though operates at much larger scale as a VINCI subsidiary.

Regional players

• Fehr Gruppe: Swiss-German metal construction group with fabrication and assembly capabilities for structural steel, facades, and special works; comparable product offering but primarily serving German-speaking Switzerland rather than French-speaking Romandy where Morand operates.

Others

• SZS (Schweizerischer Stahlbauverband): Swiss Steel Construction Association — industry body that awards Prix Acier (which Morand won in 2023); not a competitor but the sectoral organization whose membership and certifications frame the competitive set and standards against which Morand is benchmarked.
