    Generational change strengthens the direction of an established electrical supplier

    Elektro Meier AG has completed a change in management and a change of name. According to a statement from Eglin Holding AG in Baden, the Würenlingen-based company will be operating under the new management of Marc Wey and under the new name Eglin Elektro AG Würenlingen as of 1 December.

    According to the press release, Marc Wey is a “management personality from the company’s own ranks”. Marc Wey has been with the company since his apprenticeship as an electrician (2009 to 2013 at the former Ing. W. Eglin AG). After years as a service fitter, Wey took over responsibility as Junior Project Manager at Elektro Meier AG Würenlingen in 2018. Most recently, he had been Project Manager in E-Service since 2020. The move marks the completion of the integration into the Eglin Group, which began in 2002. “This makes the affiliation with the Eglin Group transparent to the outside world and creates a clear, future-oriented identity,” the press release explains.

    The family-run company Elektro Meier AG can look back on almost 100 years of company history. Originating from the Eglin electrician company founded in 1931 in Ennetbaden AG, the company is now active in the planning, manufacture and sale of electrical systems and equipment. It specialises in solutions and services in the fields of electrical installation, ICT and building automation.

  • Electrical installations in the historic railway station combined with modern technology

    Electrical installations in the historic railway station combined with modern technology

    Ernst Selmoni AG is responsible for the entire electrical system in the new Migros shop in the historic Badischer Bahnhof railway station. The rooms in the former theatre of the Förnbacher Compagnie in the southern part of the station building are, like the entire building, a listed building. Badischer Bahnhof, one of six railway stations in Basel and today the second largest, was opened in its current form in 1913.

    The contract included the complete electrical installation, from the power supply and modern lighting to the technical systems that enable smooth operation. “The work in the listed building was particularly exciting,” said Selmoni in a company press release. The historical substance demanded creative solutions, careful planning and close coordination with the authorities to ensure that tradition and modern technology were in harmony”.

    Christophe Hassler, Business Unit Manager at Selmoni Installation AG, describes this project as “an exciting challenge: realising modern electrical installations in a listed building without compromising its historical substance. With great care and innovative solutions, my team proved that technology and history can harmonise perfectly.”

    Selmoni was founded in 1934. The approximately 600 employees serve global corporations as well as private individuals. The company focuses on innovative solutions and digitalisation in construction. New technologies such as prefabrication, drilling robots, building information modelling and Hololens are already part of Selmoni’s everyday work to make construction projects faster, safer and more sustainable.

    Selmoni is one of five finalists for the Prix SVC Nordschweiz. This prize from the SME network Swiss Venture Club(SVC) will be awarded on 13 November in front of around 1,000 guests at the Congress Center Basel.

    Dietiker electrical company Jaisli-Xamax has completed the electrical installation in the new offices of household appliance supplier BSH in Geroldswil. According to a Facebook post, special attention was paid to the lighting installation in the BSH commercial building.

    An innovative office concept has been implemented there, according to the press release. This takes flexibility and efficiency to a new level. The newly designed office spaces are divided into different zones to create individual work areas and at the same time strengthen the sense of community within the team, the press release continues. The new office spaces enable employees to carry out their tasks in a flexible and pleasant environment that promotes both concentration and collaboration. The lighting installation plays a central role in this.

    The specialists from Jaisli-Xamax have been carrying out all of the electrical installations since October 2023. According to the company press release, the lighting now provides perfect illumination of the workstations.

    BSH stands for a portfolio of globally renowned household appliance brands as well as local brands. In the Swiss market, the Geroldswil-based company is represented by the household appliance brands Bosch, Siemens and Gaggenau, the ecosystem brand Home Connect and the service brands Foodfittery, Simply Yummy and WeWash.

    BSH was founded in 1967 as a joint venture between Robert Bosch GmbH in Stuttgart and Siemens AG in Munich and has been wholly owned by the Bosch Group since January 2015. BSH operates 37 factories worldwide and, according to its own figures, achieved a turnover of 14.8 billion euros in 2023.

    Jaisli-Xamax completes work on Confiserie Speck

    Jaisli-Xamax has completed the work on the electrical installation at the new production site of the traditional company Confiserie Speck . The confectionery remains in Zug, but moves to the Göbli area. There will be over 3,000 new jobs there in the future, which makes the area very attractive, confectionery owner Peter Speck is quoted as saying in a media release by Jaisli-Xamax. In a short interview published there, Speck emphasizes the special features of the electrical installation brought in by the Dietiker company. “We wanted to optimize the production process and make it as sustainable as possible. We are able to do this thanks to the cooperation with the Multi-Energy-Hub, which combines local energy sources into a CO2-neutral overall energy system with a maximum degree of self-sufficiency,” Peter Speck is quoted as saying.

    In addition, one wants to bring visitors closer to the craft in the confectionery. This is achieved by looking into the well-lit production hall, which is also called the “aquarium”.

    The new Confiserie Speck location is more than just a production hall. In addition to the bakery, there are also offices, apartments, a café and a shop at the new location.

    The electrical manufacturer Jaisli-Xamax from Dietikon only opened a new branch in Zug in 2021. The company, which has been active in the entire electrical sector for over 50 years and specializes in innovative solutions, now has offices in Basel, Bern and Zug in addition to its headquarters in Dietikon. Jaisli-Xamax AG employs a total of around 400 people.
