What Sperrag Jago does

Sperrag Jago (legal entity: sperrag ag) is a Swiss specialty materials distributor headquartered in Pratteln, canton of Basel-Landschaft, operating as an Aktiengesellschaft (stock corporation) with a headcount in the 11–50 range. The company positions itself as a specialist in wood-based and specialty materials, with a core catalog spanning plywood (Sperrholz), specialty wood boards (Spezial-Holzwerkstoffe), wood-plastic composite (WPC) decking and fence systems, and certified fire-protection panels (Brandschutzplatten). A flagship sub-product is the VeroBoard® Element, which has received VKF (Association of Cantonal Fire Insurance Companies) certification for RF1-class plates, a regulatory credential specific to the Swiss construction market.

The business monetizes primarily through hardware sales of these materials, sold via a two-layer go-to-market: a Switzerland-wide dealer network (Händlersuche) plus a direct sales team split between internal sales (Verkauf Innendienst) and field sales (Verkauf Aussendienst). Value-added processing services — technical processing, custom cutting, edge processing — and an owned delivery capability (truck, special transport, courier) are bundled with the product sale rather than sold separately. Pricing is not publicly disclosed. Certifications held include ISO 9001 (quality management), FSC® (A000515), and PEFC (15-31-0010), supporting both institutional procurement and sustainability procurement mandates.

Customer demand is described as horizontal across three use cases — construction/building professionals, outdoor living/landscaping, and fire-safety applications — with no named end customers or revenue-by-account disclosures. Strategic supplier relationships are concentrated with Silvadec (WPC/outdoor wood), europlac (specialty boards, accessed via the europlacHOUSE program), Forexia (WPC decking brand), and VeroBoard® (fire protection plates). The company is privately held, shows no disclosed funding history, and has no public listing or disclosed revenue.
