What Silidur AG does

Silidur AG is a Swiss manufacturer of precast concrete products and sports/playground equipment, headquartered in Andelfingen, canton Zürich, with operating roots dating to 1850 and formal incorporation as an Aktiengesellschaft in the 1980s. The company produces a broad portfolio organized across drainage and civil engineering elements (concrete pipes, manholes, rainwater storage, road water collectors), building construction materials (formwork stones, light wells, Soundblox noise-protection blocks, masonry), road construction elements (curb stones, traffic islands, Proviblock, drainage and tree protection), wall and slope elements, interlocking and permeable paving stones including the ARENA ecological line, sports field construction elements, outdoor seating and street furniture, and the integrated silisport brand for playground equipment, sports goals, EUROFLEX fall-protection surfaces, outdoor fitness installations, and skate/padel facilities. Notable differentiated products include the vandal-resistant Rohrgittertor 'Hybrid' goal with Herkules net back wall, the Soundblox noise-dampening concrete blocks, the REDOTTO-RC masonry element made with 45% recycled material, and the BUKY ONE autonomous maintenance robot for artificial turf.

The business operates a sales-led B2B model targeting Swiss municipalities and cantonal authorities, landscape architects and urban planners, construction companies and contractors, and sports clubs and educational institutions. Revenue is generated primarily through one-time product sales priced per unit in CHF via catalog or quote, complemented by professional services including consulting and planning, installation, inspection, and sand cleaning. Distribution is executed through a regionally segmented outside sales force covering every Swiss canton plus Liechtenstein with named territory representatives, supported by an inside sales team, with direct delivery ex-works from Andelfingen and published delivery surcharges for loads under 14 tonnes. The company markets through a bilingual (German/French) website, downloadable product catalogs, LinkedIn and Facebook pages, an email newsletter, and trade show presence at ÖGA. The company is privately held with no public listing, no disclosed external institutional shareholders, and the Steiner family associated with leadership; Philipp Steiner serves as CEO/Geschäftsführer.
