Hächler-Gruppe

What Hächler-Gruppe does

Hächler-Gruppe is a privately held Swiss construction and infrastructure services group founded in 1946 and headquartered in Wettingen, Canton Aargau. Operating under the holding entity Hans Hächler Holding AG with approximately 400 employees, the group delivers an integrated portfolio of building, renovation, canal/sewer, surface maintenance, and real estate development services through 10+ wholly-owned subsidiaries. The construction arm spans Hächler AG (Hoch- und Tiefbau, Umbau und Renovation, Umbau komplett, Bautenschutz, Fassaden, Plattenbeläge), Bürgler AG Bauunternehmen, and Mäder AG Bauunternehmen. The canal/sewer arm operates under the unified 'Kanal total' brand via Hächler-Reutlinger AG, Widmer AG, Excellence Kanal Service AG, EX TEAM AG, and Franz Pfister AG (which also handles surface and tunnel cleaning). Real estate development is conducted via Hächler AG Immobilien in the Baden/Wettingen/Frick region. The group pursues a 'one-stop-shop' strategy (marketed as 'Einer für Alles') that enables cross-selling of specialists across the building lifecycle.

The underlying technology includes proprietary trenchless pipe rehabilitation methods — inliner and partial inliner systems using robots for pipe diameters from 55mm to 225mm, Spraypoxy epoxy coating for pipe rehabilitation without wall demolition, and modular gutter cleaning systems with integrated camera inspection and suction. Surface cleaning relies on self-developed machines and vehicles. The group serves private homeowners, real estate developers and housing cooperatives, municipalities and public institutions (including SBB at Zurich main station under a contract extended for 7 years), and commercial/industrial property managers across five Swiss cantons: Aargau, Zürich, Basel, Solothurn, and Bern. Revenue is generated through project-based quotes with multi-year maintenance contracts; pricing is not publicly disclosed. In 2024–2025 the group divested its Holzbau and Schreinerei divisions to focus on core competencies, and adopted an agile corporate culture.
