What Uffer Gruppe does

Uffer Gruppe is a privately-held Swiss construction and wood industry group headquartered in Savognin, canton of Graubünden, operating through seven wholly-owned subsidiaries: UFFER Holz AG (wood construction), BATTAGLIA Bau AG (general construction), UFFER Gips AG (plaster/drywall), INVIAS AG (architecture and engineering), QUADRIN AG (modular building system), Resurses SA (sawmill and timber processing), and Resurses Pellets (renewable energy), plus the Stiftung Pignaverde foundation. The group delivers integrated construction services spanning the entire timber value chain — from forest to finished building — with the Resurses SA facility in Tinizong capable of processing up to 60,000 m³ of round timber annually and supplying certified Swiss wood to internal construction operations.

The group's flagship product is QUADRIN, a proprietary modular timber building system with standardized modules (F40 ~40m², F60 ~60m², F90 ~90m²) used for hotels, schools, healthcare facilities, event structures, and residential projects. QUADRIN has been deployed in marquee projects including the JUFA Hotel Savognin, the Bever Lodge (41 rooms, 8-month construction), the 30-meter Origen theater tower at 2,284m elevation on Julier Pass, and recurring event infrastructure for the Spengler Cup Davos, Moon & Stars Festival Locarno, and World Economic Forum. Notable recent work includes the Norman Foster-designed InnHub La Punt innovation center (groundbreaking September 2025) and two bridges awarded the Swiss Wood label in December 2025.

Uffer Gruppe generates revenue through project-based general contracting, modular building sales and rentals, and the sale of processed timber products (sawn timber and energy wood) and wood pellets. The customer base spans hospitality (JUFA Hotels, Bever Lodge), education (Kantonschule Chur, Gemeinde Lantsch/Lenz), healthcare (HPV Rorschach, ITW Ingenieurunternehmung AG), government (Kanton Graubünden, Gemeinde Sures), sports/events (Hockey Club Davos, MFS Moon & Stars), and cultural institutions (Origen Festival Cultural Riom). The group is family-owned and led by CEO Enrico Uffer and COO Andrea Uffer, with a listed headcount of 11–50 employees.
