About Burkhalter Holding AG

Burkhalter Holding AG is a leading Swiss building-services and building-technology group listed on the SIX Swiss Exchange (SMI/SPI) in Switzerland. Founded in Zurich in 1959 by Ruth and Ernst Burkhalter, the company began as a small electrical contracting business with four employees. Over time, it went through several ownership transitions and management buyouts, while preserving an entrepreneurial culture. Burkhalter has been listed on the SIX Swiss Exchange since June 2008, and in September 2025 its shares were added to the SPI Mid Index, improving visibility within the Swiss equity market. A major strategic step came with the merger with poenina holding ag at the end of June 2022, which broadened the group’s profile from a traditional electrical engineering company into a wider building-technology platform. Today, Burkhalter’s core business spans electrical installations, building automation, engineering and planning, and energy-efficiency-related services. Its portfolio includes the design, installation, maintenance and refurbishment of technical systems for residential, commercial and public buildings. The group also participates in projects involving district heating networks, water supply and disposal, and gas supply. In practical terms, Burkhalter is positioned along the full lifecycle of building technology: from planning and execution to service and renovation. This makes it relevant to the modernization of Switzerland’s building stock, which the company explicitly links to the Federal Government’s Energy Strategy 2050. From a competitive standpoint, Burkhalter benefits from scale in a highly fragmented Swiss market where local execution capability, customer proximity and technical breadth matter. Its operating model is based on a nationwide network of regional subsidiaries and specialist units across Switzerland, enabling it to serve multiple local markets while keeping a decentralized, customer-facing structure. That geographic footprint is a strategic advantage in a business where responsiveness, local relationships and project delivery quality are critical. Recent developments underline both growth momentum and strategic discipline. In 2025, the group reported solid interim performance, including higher earnings per share and revenue growth, supported by sustained demand for building-technology services. Management also indicated a positive outlook for the full year 2025. At the same time, Burkhalter continued its acquisition-led expansion in Switzerland, adding several local companies in different cantons to deepen its service base and regional presence. For investors, Burkhalter stands out as a domestically focused Swiss industrial services name with defensive characteristics, exposure to energy-efficiency renovation, and a recurring demand backdrop tied to building modernization and technical maintenance.
