Peterhans, Schibli & Co. AG

What Peterhans, Schibli & Co. AG does

Peterhans, Schibli & Co. AG is a Swiss third-generation family-owned carpentry and joinery firm headquartered in Fislisbach, Canton of Aargau, founded in 1959. The company operates two integrated production divisions: a Schreinerei (joinery workshop) at the original Badenerstrasse site and a Zimmerei (carpentry workshop) at a purpose-built Bernardastrasse facility opened in 2003, the latter featuring a 12-meter production hall supporting prefabricated timber element construction. Its portfolio spans custom furniture, complete interior fit-outs (kitchens, bathrooms, wardrobes, staircases, commercial interiors), full-scope timber construction (new builds, extensions, facades, roofing, Minergie-certified buildings), and specialized heritage building restoration (Denkmalpflege). Technology comprises traditional handcraft combined with CNC machining for precision fabrication, and the firm is a certified Minergie specialist partner for energy-efficient construction.

The company serves three primary customer segments: private homeowners (the largest group, seeking bespoke fitted solutions), commercial and institutional clients including enterprise offices, hospitality venues, insurance and consulting firms (e.g., Aquilana Versicherungen, NOVO Business Consultants, RS Properties AG, Landhotel Linde), and heritage-listed public buildings (e.g., the Stadtkirche Maria-Himmelfahrt restoration). Go-to-market is exclusively direct-to-consumer via project-based engagement, with quote-based pricing determined by scope, materials, and complexity. The firm does not operate retail, distributor, or online-storefront channels and instead relies on personal relationships, architect referrals, and project showcases across its website and social media. Notable accolades include Swiss Kitchen Award 2021 Bronze and Silver, the German Design Award 2025 (for the Franklinturm Oerlikon project with Studio Z20 AG), and regional recognition including a Holzpreis in 2003.

Business model mechanics are rooted in one-time project revenue across custom joinery, timber construction, and furniture manufacturing, with a smaller recurring service and maintenance stream. The workforce is approximately 60–80 employees including apprentices across both trades. Recent corporate moves include the 2022 'Freude³' brand relaunch, the May 2024 appointment of heritage-craft specialist Stefan Müller to the management board, and the 2024 completion of the reconstructed joinery bankroom following the 2021 fire. The firm is privately held with no disclosed funding history and no subsidiaries or parent company.
