    Hälg takes over Simeon

    According to a press release , Hälg & Co. AG has bought Simeon Haustechnik AG from Lantsch/Lenz. Hälg has been in the building technology sector for 1922 years, specializing in the installation of heating systems and developing building management solutions. With the new location, the company, which is still family-owned today, gains more proximity to the market and to the customer base in the region. The increase is also associated with an increase in the plumbing and heating trades.

    Simeon has been supporting customers since 1993 with service and renovation of household technology as well as sanitary and heating systems. With the sale to Hälg & Co. AG, owner Robert Simeon has succeeded the company he founded, but will continue his activities in consulting and acquisition.

    The company buyer fully integrates Simeon Haustechnik AG. The previous company name will disappear. The location and the team in Lantsch/Lenz, which will be there for customers under the umbrella of Hälg & Co. AG in the future, remain unchanged. This expands the Hälg Group’s network of 22 locations by a further branch. Long-standing Simeon employee Mike Müller will take over management of the branch.
