Agir Aggregat AG

What Agir Aggregat AG does

Agir Aggregat AG is a privately held Swiss construction materials and environmental services group founded in 1909 by Alfred Girschweiler and now in its 4th generation of family ownership. Headquartered in Affoltern am Albis with operating sites in Unterengstringen, Obfelden, Merenschwand, Amsteg, Ottenbach, and Silenen, plus Czech entities AGIR spol s.r.o. and AGIR Steel s.r.o., the group offers a vertically integrated portfolio spanning gravel and sand extraction, construction and specialty concrete (including recycled RC-Konstruktionsbeton), fresh mortar (Presyn), asphalt (Viatop, Asfatop), transportation, container-based disposal, concrete pumping, contaminated site remediation, plant construction, water and sludge treatment (via Bluwatec), and organic waste digestion/biogas (via Ökopower AG, producing ~3 million kWh/year).

Core products are physical construction inputs backed by certified EN-standard quality and supported by an owned logistics fleet (concrete mixers, dump trucks, walking floor vehicles, hooklift systems) and a3 Betonpumpen's 30+ mobile pumping units with up to 60m reach. Technology differentiators include tunnel logistics conveyor systems delivered internationally (Norway, Austria, Germany), circular-economy concrete from 100% mixed demolition aggregate, and Ökopower's solid-state biogas plant that produces nearly 3 million kilowatt-hours annually from organic waste with digestate reused as fertilizer. Customer segments comprise construction companies (primary), industrial and commercial businesses, municipalities, and private individuals; SBB Cargo is the only named enterprise customer (via the ARGE Ökotrans rail joint venture for tunnel excavation material).

The revenue model combines unit-priced product sales through annually updated PDF price lists (concrete, gravel/sand, transport, mulden disposal, asphalt, mortar, concrete pumps), transaction-based transport and disposal fees, container-based waste service charges in Zürich/Zug/Aargau, and project-based plant construction contracts delivered internationally. Distribution is direct from production facilities via regional disposition departments with no third-party resellers, supported by a self-pickup option at concrete plants. Sales are led by dedicated teams per product line (Kies/Beton, Mulden, Presyn-Mörtel, Transport), and outbound marketing centers on the corporate website, LinkedIn, a dedicated jobs portal, and presence at the Umweltarena Spreitenbach sustainability exhibition.

Scale indicators6 records

Recent moves6 records

Expansion highlights6 records

Broad incumbents

• Implenia AG: Largest Swiss construction services provider with significant exposure to infrastructure, tunneling, and materials — a broad incumbent comparable where Agir's Anlagenbau, gravel, and transport services intersect.
• Holcim Ltd: Global Swiss-headquartered building materials leader in aggregates, ready-mix concrete, and asphalt; competes with Agir at the larger end of the Swiss market and validates the recycled-concrete / circular-economy trajectory Agir is pursuing.

Direct peers

• Kibag: Swiss construction materials group active in gravel/sand extraction, concrete production, transport, and recycling — directly comparable to Agir Aggregat's vertically integrated product portfolio across the Swiss Mittelland region.
• Marti Group: Swiss family-owned construction group with tunneling, concrete, and plant-construction capabilities — comparable to Agir's Anlagenbau, tunnel logistics, and concrete pumping services.
• Mauchle: Swiss construction materials company producing aggregates, ready-mix concrete, and asphalt, with its own fleet and disposal services — closely comparable in product mix and integrated service delivery.
• Weiss + Appetito AG: Swiss construction and infrastructure group active in civil works, aggregates, recycling, and plant construction — overlapping with Agir's Kies/Sand, Erdbau, Altlasten, and Anlagenbau service lines.
• Eberhard Bau AG: Swiss construction and recycling group operating in aggregates, concrete, demolition, and material recovery — overlapping strongly with Agir's Kies/Sand, RC-recycled concrete, and Mulden/Entsorgung services.
• Juracime SA: Swiss cement and construction materials producer supplying aggregates, concrete, and specialty products — comparable upstream material supplier competing for similar Swiss regional customers.

Regional players

• Beiselen GmbH: German construction materials distributor and service provider in aggregates, concrete, and recycling — comparable in product mix and circular-economy positioning, but operating in the adjacent German market rather than Switzerland.

Others

• Sika AG: Swiss specialty chemicals company supplying concrete admixtures and construction systems — adjacent enabling supplier to Agir's concrete and mortar production lines rather than a direct competitor.
