Jäggi + Hafter AG

What Jäggi + Hafter AG does

Jäggi + Hafter AG is a Swiss general and specialist construction company headquartered in Regensdorf, Zürich canton, with a secondary location in Volketswil for its timber construction division. Founded in 1948 by Martin Hafter and Albert Jäggi, the company operates across five service lines: Neubau (new construction), Umbau (renovation), Kundenarbeiten (custom works), Holzbau (timber construction), and Gussasphalt (mastic asphalt flooring and waterproofing). Revenue is generated through project-based contracts with housing cooperatives, property developers, public institutions (e.g., GGZ, VBZ), energy sector clients (Energie 360°), and private individuals in the greater Zürich region. Annual revenue stands at CHF 40-45 million with a workforce of 150+ employees including approximately 10 apprentices.

The company has been a majority-owned subsidiary of Wyss Gruppe AG since 1991, a Swiss family-owned conglomerate with 700-800 employees across construction, health, real estate, and services. Jäggi + Hafter holds ISO 9001:2015 certification (since 2004) and has selectively adopted 3D BIM on large projects, most notably the Zentrum Tödi residential development (161 apartments). The customer acquisition model is relationship-driven and project-by-project, combining direct sales, public tendering, and — as demonstrated in the 2022 Energiezentrale Dielsdorf project — innovative open-book partnership structures that bypass traditional competitive bidding.

The company is led by CEO Ruedi Ehrensperger (since 2020) under Chairman Philipp Bill-Wyss (since 2023), with five department heads overseeing the operational divisions. Its competitive positioning rests on multi-discipline capability under a single regional brand, long-tenured staff and structured apprenticeship training, and craft quality rather than proprietary technology or scale advantages. Geographic reach is concentrated in the greater Zürich area and Canton Zürich, with no disclosed international operations.
