What Novoferm Schweiz AG does

Novoferm Schweiz AG is the Swiss sales and channel-coordination subsidiary of the Novoferm Group, headquartered in Kappel, Solothurn, and operating regional sales offices in East Switzerland, Central Switzerland, Geneva, and Romandie. The company distributes the group's portfolio of garage door systems, industrial doors, fire protection and multi-purpose steel doors, frames, drives, and loading and logistics systems to authorized specialist dealers, building materials and hardware retailers, door specialists, and industrial processors across Switzerland. Pricing is set as manufacturer retail prices in CHF (promotional examples: ISO 20 sectional door with drive at CHF 1,099, premium ISO 45 with drive at CHF 1,299) with installation sold separately through the dealer channel.

The underlying technology spans 20mm to 67mm insulated sectional doors, RC 2 certified break-in resistance per DIN/TS 18194:2020-07, the self-repairing NovoZip high-speed roll-up door, the NovoSpeed Thermo spiral high-speed door with a 40mm section and U-value of 1.77 W/m²K, and the new generation of NovoPort Speed and Novomatic drives launched in March 2024. Sub-brands include NovoPort, Novomatic, DuoPort, NovoRol, NovoPorta Premio/Plano, NovoFire Glass, SpeedRoller, NovoZip, NovoSpeed Thermo, Strong Outdoor, NovoFold, and Evolution (EVO) / ISO 70. A SmartHome app controls compatible drives, and a KI-Assistent (AI Assistant) launched in February 2026 inside the partner extranet supports knowledge retrieval for dealers.

Commercially, the company operates a channel-led go-to-market model with a hybrid sales motion: an authorized Fachhändler network provides consulting, sales, measurement, installation, and disposal services to end customers, while regional Novoferm sales offices support the partner channel and drive direct engagement with architects, planners, construction companies, and industrial buyers. The Swiss entity is privately held, has no public listing or external funding rounds disclosed, and is part of the Novoferm Group, which reports over 700 million EUR in annual revenue across 3,500+ employees and a 70-year operating history (founded 1955). Certifications include ISO 9001, DIN EN 13241, and RC 2. Leadership of the group comprises CEO Christian Hasenest and CFO Jan Hülsmann (joined 2023).
