History

A Swiss success story

We have almost 80 highly motivated staff who take care of water-carrying pipe maintenance in buildings every day, upholding the highest standards of quality. We use our passion and inventiveness to research and develop everything to do with pipes – all in a real Swiss family business. We have always pursued one goal since 1985: renovating instead of replacing.
