What Arbonia does
Arbonia AG is a Swiss industrial group founded in 1947 and listed on the SIX Swiss Exchange (ticker: ARBON) that manufactures interior doors, functional doors, shower enclosures, and partition wall systems. Following the February 2025 divestiture of its Climate Division to Midea Electrics Netherlands B.V. for an enterprise value of EUR 760 million, the group operates as a pure-play doors business operating 17 profiled brands (including PRÜM, GARANT, RWD Schlatter, joro, TPO, Kermi, LIGNIS, Dimoldura, Cicomol, Arbonia Glassysteme, Interwand, and Swiss) with manufacturing facilities in Switzerland, Germany, the Czech Republic, Spain, and Portugal. The portfolio spans standard wooden and glass interior doors through to specification-grade functional doors offering fire protection (T30/T90), smoke protection, sound insulation up to Rw,P = 47 dB, burglary protection (RC3), and climate class III resistance, plus digital locking systems and the proprietary Ventilationszarge ventilation door frame. A flagship digital offering is the DIETÜR cloud-based door configurator, which supports over 3 million product combinations with 2D/3D visualization and integrates Point-of-Experience terminals for 1:1 scale 4K previews.
The group monetizes primarily through one-time product sales of doors, frames, glass systems, and partition walls rather than recurring software revenue. Pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed; the DIETÜR configurator does not display prices and routes inquiries to the specialist retailer (Fachhandel) network. The go-to-market motion is a hybrid B2B model: direct project business (Objektgeschäft) targets architects, interior architects, project developers, and construction companies for large tenders such as Grand Tower Frankfurt (2,400 door elements), hospital projects, hotels, and government buildings, while wholesale and specialist retail distribution serves the SMB and consumer segments. End customers span healthcare (Kinderspital Zürich, Kantonsspital St. Gallen), education (TH Ulm, Karls-Universität Prag), hospitality (Waldorf Astoria Berlin, InterContinental Bordeaux, Jumeirah Port Soller), commercial (Bundesministerium des Innern, ČSOB Bank HQ), and high-rise residential.
Revenue for FY2025 was CHF 556.3 million (12.3% growth from CHF 504.6 million in FY2024), with FY2025 reported EBITDA of CHF 56.3 million (+41% YoY). H1 2026 revenue was CHF 318.2 million (+2.3% organic), H1 2026 adjusted EBITDA was CHF 23.8 million (-8.8% YoY), and FY2026 EBITDA guidance was cut to CHF 57.3 million owing to SAP/ERP one-off costs at the German subsidiary Garant. Leadership was refreshed during the strategic refocus: Claudius Moor was appointed CEO in November 2024, Uwe Schiller became CFO in September 2024 (succeeding Daniel Wüest), and Christoph Ganz was elected Chairman of the Board in April 2026 succeeding Alexander von Witzleben.

Arbonia competitors and assessment
Company assessmentDirect peers

- Masonite International: US-listed global manufacturer of interior doors and door components with strong specification presence in hospitality, healthcare, and multi-family residential. Closely comparable business model and product breadth to Arbonia's doors portfolio.

Broad incumbents
- Jeld-Wen: One of the world's largest manufacturers of interior and exterior doors and windows. Comparable in product category and customer overlap, but considerably larger and more geographically diversified than Arbonia's European-centric doors business.

Emerging players

Others
- GEZE: German supplier of door and window hardware, automation, and access control systems. Adjacent comparable in the integrated door-system value chain, especially relevant given Arbonia's digital locking and functional door offerings.
