HBT-ISOL

What HBT-ISOL does

HBT-ISOL AG is a Swiss specialty engineering company headquartered in Stetten, Switzerland, operating in the field of body sound insulation (Körperschalldämmung) and vibration isolation (Erschütterungsschutz). Founded in 1963 and employing 56 staff members, the company has completed 4,583 engineering projects across more than 60 years of operation. Its core offering is a portfolio of eight proprietary, registered product brands — ISODEFO®, ISONOVA®, ISOLA®, ISOTREPP®, ISOPOL®, ISOLMER®, ISOLDYN®, and ISOFED®-BIG — designed for acoustic isolation and vibration damping in floors, stairs, platforms, and structural connections, alongside joint profile systems and drainage channels for parking structures and industrial areas. Supporting digital tools include the IMPULSUS calculation tool, a Trittschall product finder, a wood-construction sizing template, and an Allplan 2025/2026 BIM plugin that embeds HBT-ISOL products into architectural planning software.

The company serves three primary verticals: construction (architects, structural engineers, planners, and construction firms); railway (track and infrastructure operators such as Appenzeller Bahnen AG); and industrial facilities requiring machinery and equipment vibration protection. Named customers include Swiss construction firms (studer + strauss ag, Nicol. Hartmann & Cie. AG, Külling AG, AF TOSCANO AG, HG Commerciale), architectural practices (Gähler Flüchler Architekten AG), and specialty building-physics consultancies (Andreas Roth, M. Künzler), with multiple relationships exceeding 20 years.

HBT-ISOL operates an integrated products-plus-services business model. Revenue is generated through three streams: (1) one-time product sales of branded elastomeric bearings and insulation components, (2) engineering services covering technical consultation, planning, and product specification, and (3) installation services delivered through the company's own installation department to ensure quality-assured execution. Pricing is quote-based, not publicly disclosed, and the go-to-market is B2B enterprise field sales with a relationship-driven motion emphasizing technical expertise. Marketing assets include a multilingual website (German, French, Italian), LinkedIn and Instagram channels, and downloadable engineering resources that target architects and engineers during the specification phase of construction and rail projects, primarily in the DACH region.
