  • Removal service provider expands its offering in the greater Zurich area

    Removal service provider expands its offering in the greater Zurich area

    The Schwyz-based removal service provider Optimal Umzug GmbH from Lachen is strengthening its range of services for the greater Zurich area. In future, the company will take care of all the steps involved in a move for private individuals and companies. The reason for focussing on the greater Zurich area is the increased demand there for comprehensive removal services, the company explains in a press release. These range from classic furniture transport to the dismantling and assembly of furniture, packing and unpacking services, removal and final cleaning with an acceptance guarantee and professional disposal and clearing out. A furniture lift and special transport services, such as for pianos, are also available on request.

    The press release particularly emphasises the offer of personal advice and fair pricing with no hidden costs. If the company is commissioned to provide individual services or to carry out an all-round move, it guarantees a free on-site inspection to assess the volume of the move. A non-binding offer is then made on this basis.

    The management of Optimal Umzug GmbH sees the company’s strength in its comprehensive range of services in particular: “Many of our customers appreciate the fact that we provide everything from a single source. Our aim is to make removals as pleasant as possible. Especially in a dynamic region like Zurich, a reliable partner is crucial.”

    With its headquarters in Lachen, however, the company remains regionally anchored and continues to offer its services in Lachen, Glarus, Rapperswil and the surrounding area.

    Meier Tobler Lüftungshygiene AG, founded in 2009, has established itself as an independent company with 25 employees at two locations.

Roger Basler, CEO of Meier Tobler, comments: “We are delighted to have found the ideal buyer in the Hälg Group. Its strategic direction is a perfect fit and we are convinced that our employees will be optimally integrated into the Hälg team.”

It is already active in the field of ventilation cleaning at its sites in Bern, Zurich and St. Gallen. The acquisition of Meier Tobler Lüftungshygiene AG will enable the company to significantly expand its team of experts and utilise additional synergies. The aim is to become the market leader in ventilation cleaning. Sandro Keller, CEO Building Technology at the Hälg Group, explains: “The takeover will enable us to almost triple our capacity in ventilation cleaning and strengthen the organisation. This will significantly expand our expertise and put us in a position to take on large mandates in the future.”

    Hälg Group bundles its expertise
    In order to exploit its full potential and position itself optimally on the market, the Hälg Group is combining its activities in a new organisational unit. Under the umbrella of Service Schweiz, Hälg & Co. AG Lüftungsreinigung will offer its services throughout Switzerland under the management of Cyrill Rohner. All employees of Meier Tobler Lüftungshygiene AG are to be taken over.

    Cyrill Rohner, member of the Hälg Group’s Building Technology Management Board, is delighted about the new addition: “We want to grow in the service sector and also see opportunities in ventilation cleaning. By strengthening the team and pooling our strengths in the Hälg & Co. AG Ventilation Cleaning organisational unit, we will exploit this potential and play to our strengths in a targeted manner.”
