BATIMETAL SA

What BATIMETAL SA does

BATIMETAL Constructions Métalliques SA is a privately held Swiss custom metal construction firm founded in 1982 by Carlo Di Pietrantonio and headquartered in Yverdon-les-Bains, Canton de Vaud. Operating with approximately 30 collaborators across its headquarters and original Valeyres-sous-Montagny manufacturing site, the company designs, fabricates, and installs metal structures in steel, stainless steel (inox), and aluminum — spanning facades, windows, doors, railings, verrières, and special structures for both new construction and renovation. An integrated engineering bureau (bureau d'études) provides in-house technical design, supporting six integrated service modules: Façades et fenêtres, Serrurerie générale, Tôlerie, Constructions inoxydables, Portes et parois anti-feu (EN 13501-2, EI30–EI120, with anti-intrusion RC and anti-panic EN 1125/179 configurations), and Régie/Service Dépannage for emergency and maintenance work. Manufacturing is supported by a complete in-house machine park including laser and plasma cutting, press brake, punch press, and machining center.

The company's commercial model is project-based, one-time contracts won through direct enterprise sales, public procurement tenders, and private-sector bids, with relationship-driven business development concentrated in the Swiss Romande region. Marquee reference projects include the vertical extension of Hôtel Cornavin Geneva (1998–2001), the IOC headquarters (2017–2019), Centre thérapeutique La Brine (40,000+ stainless steel facade scales, PrixForix 2018 finalist), CHUV radiology bay windows, Vaudoise Assurance Cèdre 1 renovation, Collège de Riant-Pré Lausanne, Centre Médical de Moudon, and the Montagne 136 Geneva photovoltaic-support superstructure. The customer base spans architectural firms, public institutions, healthcare and educational facilities, property managers (régies), and private individuals. Multiple regulatory certifications — Swiss Label, Metaltec Vaud, FVE Entrepreneurs Coopérateur+, AI Canton de Vaud Entreprise Partenaire, Suva safety charter — and the "Entreprise formatrice" apprenticeship label reinforce barriers in public/institutional bidding.

In February 2025, Loïc Freitas succeeded founder Carlo Di Pietrantonio as Director, marking the first generational leadership transition. The company remains privately held with no disclosed external investors, parent entity, subsidiaries, or revenue figures.
