Häring

What Häring does

Häring is a Swiss timber construction group founded in 1879 in Eiken, Switzerland, and family-owned for five generations. The company designs, engineers, prefabricates, and assembles timber buildings and structural systems, serving residential, commercial, public-sector, hospitality, and industrial customers across Switzerland and internationally. Its core technology stack comprises proprietary engineered timber systems: the h_system (modular timber frame with prefabricated wall, ceiling, and roof elements produced on a Weinmann automated line), ATTICO® (a modular system for adding storeys to existing buildings), Flex-Frame (a frame structure for multi-storey timber high-rises, co-developed with ETH Zurich for earthquake-zone performance), Saldome® (geodesic timber domes achieving up to 94 m clear span, Europe's largest), and Ensphere Holznetzschalenkuppel (wooden lattice shell technology).

Häring generates revenue through four streams: timber construction services (prefabricated elements and assembly), general and total contracting for end-to-end project delivery, sales of proprietary systems and packaged products (ATTICO, Saldome, Flex-Frame, timber façades), and a real estate development arm launched in 2016. Pricing is project-based and quote-driven with multi-year contracts; no standard pricing is publicly disclosed. The company operates a sales-led go-to-market model with dedicated sales teams segmented by function (Timber Construction & GC, International Sales/Dome, ATTICO), distributed across offices in Eiken (HQ), Zurich, Muttenz, and Burgdorf (Roth Burgdorf AG production), with wholly-owned subsidiaries Haring Swiss Wood Structures (Tianjin) Co. Ltd. in China and Haring Timber Technology (SEA) PTE Ltd in Singapore. Other historical entities include Ecowood SA in Gabon (founded 2004) and a Bhutan glulam technology-transfer facility (2016). Ownership remains entirely with the founding family, with no external investors or parent company.

Products and services

• ATTICO Additional Storeys ATTICO is Häring's modular extra storey system for adding floors to existing buildings, using prefabricated timber construction for rapid installation. Targeted at building owners and developers seeking to expand existing properties vertically without relocating occupants.
• h_system Modular Timber Construction h_system is a flexible modular timber construction system using a squared timber load-bearing structure with stabilising planking to prefabricate wall, ceiling, and roof elements on a high-tech Weinmann production line. Designed to enable rapid on-site assembly (e.g., buildings enclosed in 2 days) for residential and commercial projects.
• Flex-Frame High-Rise Timber System Flex-Frame is a frame construction and load-bearing system for multi-storey timber buildings, developed in cooperation with ETH Zürich. Particularly suitable for earthquake zones, it enables high-rise timber construction such as the House of Natural Resources at ETH Zürich.
• Saldome Geodesic Dome Structures Saldome is Häring's registered geodesic dome concept for large-span structures such as salt storage facilities, sports stadiums, cultural and industrial buildings. The system uses Ensphere Holznetzschalenkuppel wooden lattice shell technology, achieving spans up to 94m diameter and 31m height (Saldome 2, Europe's largest timber dome).
• Glulam Structures / Timber Engineering Engineered timber construction services including glulam (Brettschichtholz) structural elements and custom timber engineering solutions for buildings and load-bearing structures. Häring operates glulam production capability through its subsidiary Roth Burgdorf AG.
• Timber Façades Custom timber façade cladding solutions and wood façade systems for buildings.
• Shop Solutions / Pop-ups Temporary and modular retail space solutions using timber construction for pop-up stores and shop fit-outs.
• General Contracting Total/general contractor services for construction projects including planning, production, and assembly, covering entire building projects from planning to completion as a single accountable delivery partner.
