RDL

What RDL does

RDL AG is a privately held Swiss office planning and interior architecture company headquartered in Suhr, canton Aargau, operating since 1987 with a team of 11-50 employees. The firm delivers end-to-end office design services for Swiss SMEs, mid-market firms, large enterprises, healthcare providers, industrial companies, and public administration clients, spanning needs analysis, concept development, space planning, acoustic and lighting design, project management, and in-house installation through to key handover. Its core technology offerings center on modular partition wall systems (Swissdivide, Legno, Ulteem LR, Emergence & Arpège, Cekens), room-in-room acoustic pods distributed from Finland (Vetrospace, XS to XXL sizes), acoustic solutions including PET-based panels and Swiss sheep wool WOOPIES elements, and VIOR acoustic-lighting fixtures developed and manufactured in Switzerland, with ceiling systems carrying Cradle to Cradle, LEED, BREEAM, and DGNB certifications.

RDL AG monetizes through project-based professional services and one-time product sales, with publicly disclosed pricing only for its CHF 450 orientation workshop; larger engagements operate on quote-based pricing with milestone payments of one-third at order, assembly start, and completion. The go-to-market model is sales-led, combining direct enterprise field sales, a physical showroom at Suhr headquarters, a CHF 450 workshop for SMEs without in-house planning capability, regional trade partnerships for specialized construction trades, and content marketing across blog, newsletter, social media, and trade shows such as Architect@Work Zurich. Revenue is not publicly disclosed and the company appears independently owned with no external investment or parent entity.
