Meier-kopp Ag

What Meier-kopp Ag does

Meier-Kopp Gruppe is a privately held, family-owned Swiss building technology group headquartered in Zürich. Founded in 1976, it operates through five wholly owned subsidiaries — Meier-Kopp AG (ventilation, air conditioning, and refrigeration), Meier-Kopp Service AG (health, safety, and energy services), Boschetti AG (sanitary, heating, and ventilation, founded 1976 in Aarau), E.O. Knecht AG (sanitary, heating, and pipe construction), and Meier-Kopp Planungs AG (engineering planning). The group employs approximately 250 staff including around 30 apprentices across offices in Zürich, Mönchaltorf, Reinach BL, and Aarau, serving the Zürich, Basel, and Aargau regions of Switzerland.

The group's core offering spans the full lifecycle of building technical systems — planning, consulting, construction, and maintenance — for ventilation (Lüftung), climate control (Klima), refrigeration (Kälte), sanitary (Sanitär), and heating (Heizung) installations. Technical capabilities include BIM (Building Information Modeling) coordination using Revit and Nova for digital project collaboration, alongside specialized ventilation cleaning and hygiene services delivered through the Service subsidiary. The firm is certified as a Suissetec Toplehrbetrieb (top training company) and is a member of Minergie, SVLW, ProKlima, and SWKI industry associations, anchoring its position in Swiss standards for energy efficiency and air/water hygiene.

Revenue is generated through project-based professional services: quote-by-project construction, installation, and ongoing maintenance contracts for commercial and residential building clients. Pricing is not publicly disclosed. Ownership remains with the founding Meier family; Michael Meier serves as Owner, Board Chairman, and Chair of Group Management, with Pascal Hartung leading the core Meier-Kopp AG subsidiary and founder Peter Meier-Kopp on the Board of Directors. The group operates exclusively within Switzerland with no disclosed international footprint, external investors, or parent company.

Broad incumbents

• Viessmann: German heating and HVAC systems manufacturer and solutions provider. Overlaps with Meier-Kopp's heating business line, particularly in integrated solutions and service.
• ENGIE: Global energy and building services group with deep HVAC and refrigeration services exposure (e.g., ENGIE Refrigeration, Axima/Cofely). Represents the upper-scale end of the competitive set.
• Bosch Thermotechnology: Global HVAC and heating equipment manufacturer (Buderus, Junkers brands) operating across Europe. Sets competitive benchmarks for product/service offerings against regional installers like Meier-Kopp.
• Equans (Bouygues): Bouygues' multi-technical building services and HVAC/FM subsidiary active across Europe. Competes for institutional and commercial HVAC service contracts in the same Swiss and DACH markets.
• SPIE S.A. Major European multi-technical building services group (HVAC, electrical, FM). Competes for the same large Swiss and pan-European institutional HVAC tenders, but at materially larger scale.
• Cofely (ENGIE): ENGIE's building services and facility management arm focused on HVAC, energy, and multi-technical maintenance — directly comparable to Meier-Kopp Service AG's recurring service business, but at continental scale.

Direct peers

• Frutiger AG: Swiss construction and building technology group active in HVAC, sanitary, and electrical trades. Comparable regional footprint and similar mixed project/maintenance business model.
• Leutwyler Gruppe: Swiss building technology group offering HVAC, sanitary, and heating services across multiple subsidiaries. Closely comparable to Meier-Kopp in size, geography, and multi-subsidiary full-service model.
• Kaelte 3000 GmbH: German/European refrigeration and cooling services contractor with adjacent Swiss operations. Directly comparable on the refrigeration/HVAC installation and service side of Meier-Kopp's offering.

Emerging players

• Kampmann GmbH: German HVAC specialist focused on heating, cooling, and air-handling solutions for commercial buildings. Comparable product/technology overlap with Meier-Kopp's commercial HVAC focus, with growing DACH presence.
