What tozzo gruppe ag does

Tozzo Gruppe AG is a Swiss family-owned holding company headquartered in Bubendorf, Basel-Landschaft, that operates an integrated portfolio of construction services and adjacent infrastructure businesses across Switzerland and neighboring markets in Germany and France. Founded in 1980, the group comprises 10 subsidiaries and 7 participations covering civil and road construction, bulk material trading and recycling, asphalt production, crane and container logistics, suction excavation, and roof greening, supported by more than 500 employees.

The operating model centers on serving public sector clients (including federal road authority ASTRA and cantonal/municipal infrastructure operators such as IWB and Waldenburgerbahn AG), industrial customers, private clients, and the construction industry itself. Notable operational assets include what is described as the largest suction excavator fleet in Switzerland (Etraxa), a port facility in Huningue, France with direct Rhine access, an excavation wash plant at Allschwil capable of reducing landfill volume by approximately 85%, and two photovoltaic plants generating 175,000 kWh per year. Material throughput at subsidiary habö AG reaches 800,000 tonnes per year, and roof-greening output is 80,000 m² per year.

Tozzo Gruppe monetizes through project-based construction contracts, sale of recycled bulk materials, asphalt production, equipment rental (cranes, suction excavators, containers), and recurring infrastructure service agreements. The group has held ISO 9001 certification since 1997 and was an early Swiss adopter of GPS machine control on construction equipment in 2008, reflecting an early operational technology orientation within an otherwise traditional civil-engineering business.
