Egger

What Egger does

Egger AG is a Swiss garden and landscape construction company headquartered in Bellach (Canton Solothurn) with a second branch in Wangen bei Olten, operating under the legal form of an Aktiengesellschaft. Founded in 1949 as "Graf und Egger" and renamed EGGER AG Gartenbau in 1962, the company delivers three integrated service pillars: garden and landscape construction (Garten- und Landschaftsbau), ongoing garden maintenance and care (Gartenunterhalt und Gartenpflege), and specialized sports field construction (Sportplatzbau) covering football, tennis, beach volleyball, athletics, riding arenas, and boccia. Supporting service modules include planning/consulting, irrigation and drainage systems for sports fields, and an inspiration gallery that mixes real project photography with AI-generated concept imagery.

The company employs between 51 and 100 staff (over 50 skilled workers plus apprentices) and operates from two physical facilities — a long-standing Bellach campus including office, workshop, and warehouse space, and a 3,600 m² branch in Wangen bei Olten opened in 2014. Egger serves three customer segments — private homeowners, business and corporate customers, and municipalities and public institutions — through a sales-led, advisory-driven go-to-market: site consultation, personalized planning, and direct execution. Pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed; revenue is generated through one-time construction projects plus recurring maintenance contracts and public-sector tenders. Named enterprise clients referenced in case-study material include HRS, 4, Glas Trösch, Bächler+Güttinger AG, Menétrey SA, and Möhlin Aukofer, alongside recurring private and municipal work.

Since 2022, Egger has operated as a subsidiary within the B+G Schweiz Gruppe, a Swiss group of garden and landscape companies that provides shared resources, cross-referrals, and centralized branding under the "Orte für mehr Leben" (Places for more life) tagline. The company is a member of Jardin Suisse (the Swiss horticulture industry association), holds ISO 9001:2008 quality certification (recertified in 2009 without deficiencies), and celebrated its 75th anniversary in 2024 with a new logo, modern website, and refreshed corporate identity. Egger remains a privately held company with no publicly disclosed revenue figures.
