Roos Ventilation Sa

What Roos Ventilation Sa does

Roos Ventilation SA is a Swiss Société Anonyme founded in 1978 and headquartered in Forel (Lavaux), Canton de Vaud. It designs, supplies, installs, and maintains ventilation, air conditioning, and cooling systems for residential, industrial, hospitality, healthcare, food-service, and public-sector clients across French-speaking Switzerland (Suisse romande), with operational focus on the Lake Geneva (Arc lémanique) region. The company is a wholly-owned subsidiary of the HOLDINOVA group, a diversified Swiss Romandy conglomerate of 19 companies active in energy distribution and building technical services.

The company's core technical scope spans custom-engineered ventilation systems (including double-flow monoblocs, thermal imaging diagnostics, air and water quality analysis), energy recovery solutions, humidification and dehumidification (including clean room environments), and fire smoke extraction (désenfumage). It executes full project lifecycles from design through installation plus ongoing maintenance contracts and emergency repair (dépannage d'urgence). Notable delivered projects include the RTS production site in Lausanne-Écublens (20 monoblocs, capacity up to 30,000 m3/h), the 212-room Hôtel m3 in Aubonne, the Nestlé international headquarters in Vevey, the Nouvelle Terre residential complex (129 PPE apartments), the École Agora school complex (350 students), the Beau Rivage Palace, and multiple Migros Vaud retail sites.

The business model is professional-services driven: revenue is generated through project-based installation contracts (no publicly disclosed pricing), recurring maintenance agreements, and ad-hoc emergency repair work. Distribution is exclusively direct, with project acquisition occurring through HOLDINOVA group referrals, sister-company bundling (Brauchli for heating, Diémand for sanitary, Holdibat for general contracting), and direct engagement with private individuals and enterprise clients. The team comprises 21 employees plus 1 apprentice, with stated capital of CHF 300,000 and no publicly disclosed revenue.
