What Landolt does

FRITZ LANDOLT AG (Landolt) is a Swiss manufacturer of technical nonwoven textiles used primarily for temporary surface protection during construction, renovation and interior finishing. Founded in 1884 as a ropery in Näfels and converted into nonwoven production in 1960, the company today develops and produces an integrated 'from fibre to application' portfolio of protective, acoustic and impact-sound nonwovens organized into named families: ALLPROTECT™ (Original, FR+, Flex, White), Floorliner™ (original, vapor, vapor P, absorb, FR, basic) plus Solprotec™, Contraphon™ (standard and FR), TS™ impact-sound insulation, ALLSTOP™ anti-slip carpet underlays, plus geosynthetics and building-protection products (Texto™, Bauma™, Froma™, Frivolit™, Landocol™) and a Snowfarming service. Underlying technology is needle-punching, thermal fixing, coating, laminating and calendaring of nonwovens, with a patented Opticoat™ anti-slip adhesive coating and leadership in inline four-color digital printing on nonwovens (Floorliner™ Print); a custom-manufacturing service (massfertigung) provides CNC cut-to-size, perforation and individual labeling.

The company is family-owned (Christian Landolt, CEO; Peter Landolt, Board Director) and operates from a near-full-capacity production site in Näfels while constructing a new 15,000 m² headquarters at Tardisland in Zizers (GR), targeted for mid-2026. Revenue is generated through direct B2B sales of finished rolls and custom-manufactured nonwovens, priced per unit or by project quote (no public list pricing), and distributed via an internal Swiss field-sales team, wholly-owned sales subsidiaries in Germany, France, Austria and Italy, and a specialist-retail and trading-partner network for additional export markets. End-users split across tradespeople/construction professionals, specialist retailers/distributors, interior finishers, civil engineering firms, maritime shipyards (via DNV GL-certified Floorliner™ FR) and winter-sports operators; no individual customers are publicly named and no repeat-customer revenue concentration is disclosed.

Landolt holds ISO 9001 quality certification and DNV GL AS maritime certification (since 2016) for Floorliner™ FR, and positions itself as the Swiss specialist and market leader in temporary surface protection. Reported strategic priorities for 2024–2026 are the generational 'Landolt 2025' campus project at Zizers, ongoing product-family extensions (most recently ALLPROTECT™ White for glass/vertical surfaces), and continued maintenance of regulated-vertical certifications; the company has no disclosed M&A, external funding events or AI/digital-platform initiatives in the source material.
