Viessmann CH

What Viessmann CH does

Viessmann CH operates as Viessmann (Schweiz) GmbH, the Swiss sales and distribution entity of Viessmann Climate Solutions, headquartered in Spreitenbach (Canton Aargau) and registered since 1987. As of January 2024, the parent group became part of Carrier Global Corporation, while the Swiss entity continues to operate under the Viessmann brand and is led by Managing Directors Roland Walch and Achim Schäfer. The company sells heating, cooling, ventilation, and renewable energy systems for residential and commercial/industrial buildings, drawing on a 105+ year brand heritage (founded 1917).

The core technology offering centers on heat pumps (Vitocal family), photovoltaic modules (Vitovolt 300), battery storage (Vitocharge VX3), ice-based seasonal thermal storage (Eisspeicher), wood heating, solar thermal, gas and oil boilers, plus large-scale industrial heat pumps and boilers. These components are integrated through the Viessmann One Base platform and exposed to end users via the ViCare App (smartphone control and monitoring) and to professionals via the ViGuide App (commissioning, diagnostics, maintenance). The portfolio spans a documented customer outcome of 500,000 tonnes of CO2 reduction annually from boiler replacements.

The business model is primarily sales-led and indirect, monetized through (a) hardware sales of climate and energy equipment, (b) digital services and software subscriptions via connected platforms, (c) maintenance, repair, and warranty service contracts, and (d) spare parts and accessories through the PartnerShop. Go-to-market relies on a certified trade partner (Fachpartner) network of installers, solar installers, architects, planners, and regional branches, supplemented by the corporate website, partner portal, Viessmann Community, and direct consultation/quotation tools. End customers include residential homeowners, trade professionals, commercial and industrial buyers, municipalities, real estate and property managers, and energy utilities.
