    Burkhalter buys Riggenbach

    Burkhalter Group signed a purchase agreement for Riggenbach AG, Lüftungs- und Klimatechnik on 29 June. The company, which is headquartered in Olten and has branch offices in Solothurn and Brugg, generates annual sales of around CHF 40 million, Burkhalter said in a corresponding statement. The takeover is intended to give the Zurich-based building technology specialist additional market share. In its strategy, Burkhalter reserves the right to acquire further building technology companies in order to expand its market share.

    The takeover of Riggenbach is expected to be completed next month. The purchase price is to be paid in cash and by means of new registered shares of Burkhalter. To this end, Burkhalter Holding AG will create 148,774 new registered shares, for which shareholders’ subscription rights will be excluded. Riggenbach has undertaken to hold two thirds of the shares acquired as part of the takeover for at least two years, informs Burkhalter. The new registered shares are expected to be tradable on the SIX from around the end of August to the beginning of September.

  • Carrier invests in Archilogic

    Carrier invests in Archilogic

    Carrier has invested in three start-ups through its newly created venture capital fund. According to a media release , one of these is a Swiss company, Archilogic .

    The spin-off from the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology Zurich ( ETH ) convinced Carrier with their specially developed software. With this, the floor plans of buildings can be converted into 3D models. For example, users can see how a floor plan affects the visual reference, incidence of light or noise pollution. This makes it easy to compare different floor plans.

    Carrier also wants to integrate the Zurich development into its own digital cloud platform. This should enable users to visualize buildings better, which should ultimately enable the planning of “healthier and more efficient rooms”.

    Carrier has launched its venture capital fund, Carrier Venture 2022. The company, based in Palm Beach Gardens in the US state of Florida, wants to promote sustainable innovations in the building sector.
