ZinCo AG Dachbegrünungssysteme

What ZinCo AG Dachbegrünungssysteme does

ZinCo AG Dachbegrünungssysteme is the Swiss distribution and consulting arm of the ZinCo Group, headquartered in Kirchberg BE, Switzerland. The company develops and sells system-integrated green roof solutions consisting of layered functional components, including deep-drawn polyolefin drainage and water-storage elements (Floradrain® FD 25, FD 40, FD 60 neo), EPS drainage elements (Floraset® FS 75), HD-PE slope-stabilizing raster elements (Georaster®), polyester/polypropylene protection and storage mats (SSM 45, BSM 64, etc.), high-load retention spacers (RSX 65/RSX 100), height-adjustable terrace pedestals (Elefeet®), penetration-free fall-protection systems (Fallnet® SR-Rail, SB 200-Rail), and integrated solar mounting plates. Together these assemble into named system packages covering extensive greening (Sedumteppich, Steinrosenflur, Schrädachbegrünung), intensive greening (Dachgarten, Urban Farming, Tiefgaragenbegrünung), retention, biodiversity, and climate-adaptation roofs.

The company sells these components as hardware to professional installers, landscape construction firms, roofing companies, and end customers. Go-to-market relies on direct enterprise field sales via ZinCo Fachberater (specialist consultants) supporting projects from planning through execution, complemented by depot/händler locations and a certified partner installer network spanning Switzerland, Germany, Denmark, Spain, and Greece. Pricing is not publicly disclosed; customers request offers via the consultant channel. Revenue is generated through hardware sales of system components under brands that include European Technical Assessments (ETA) for key products. Reference projects include Olea All Suite Hotel (Greece, 2018), Bodegas Ramón Bilbao barrel vault (Spain, 2017), Grønttorvet-Park urban development (Denmark, ongoing to 2025), and the KETV Karlsruhe biodiversity green roof (Germany, 2021). The Swiss AG is privately held with no public listing; it operates alongside the parent manufacturer ZinCo GmbH in Nürtingen, Germany, and regional subsidiaries ZinCo Danmark A/S and ZinCo Cubiertas Ecológicas S.L.
