    Change of ownership to accelerate growth in the geothermal market

    The investment company Dundee AG has acquired Bohrfix Erdsonden AG, according to a press release. The company is one of the most established and successful independent providers of geothermal probe drilling in Switzerland, with around 240,000 meters drilled annually and 1150 boreholes worldwide.

    With the new owner, the drilling company will have a slightly different management structure. Effective immediately, Hans Rosenberger, Chairman of the Board of Directors of Dundee AG, is Chairman of the Board of Directors of Bohrfix Erdsonden AG. Sascha Jordi will continue to manage the company operationally. Jordi has been a drilling foreman since 1998 and has worked as a project manager at Bohrfix Erdsonden AG since June 2025. Vinzenz Schönenberger will remain Commercial Director and Delegate of the Board of Directors. Despite the change in management structure, all existing employees will be retained. Nothing will change operationally for customers and clients.

    “With the acquisition of Bohrfix Erdsonden AG, we are investing in a company with an excellent market position, an experienced team and great growth potential in the geothermal and renewable energy sector. We are looking forward to this exciting partnership,” Hans Rosenberger is quoted as saying.

    The background to the takeover is the decision by the previous owner Alban Berisha to concentrate fully on the further development of his investment and real estate portfolio. The new owner plans to further develop the market-leading position of Bohrfix Erdsonden AG and also to invest in growth, technology and personnel in the future.

  • Telecommunications provider strengthens regional digital infrastructure

    Telecommunications provider strengthens regional digital infrastructure

    Datapark AG, based in Wil, has been part of EKT Holding AG, based in Arbon, since 23 February. The Thurgau-based energy supplier is also considering a merger with EKT and the integration of Datapark into its Digital Services division. The eleven jobs in Wil will be retained.

    As an internet service provider, Datapark has its own backbone as part of the internet in eastern Switzerland. It offers services for cable network operators, including network planning, internet connectivity, site networking and customer management systems.

    Datapark was founded in 1997 by André Otto and taken over by Martin Kaiser in 2020. With the takeover of the company by EKT Holding, Kaiser is now arranging his own succession. “The integration into the EKT Group offers several positive factors,” he is quoted as saying in the announcement. “On the one hand, we can further expand our strengths in operations, network technology and specialised solutions, and on the other hand, we benefit from the strong market position of the EKT Group. Together, we are creating an even more powerful, regionally anchored digital offering for our customers.”

    Andreas Plüer welcomes Datapark to the EKT Group. “With this long-established company, we are gaining a partner that has been setting standards in network technology, operations and customer service in eastern Switzerland for years,” the head of EKT’s Digital Services business unit is quoted as saying in the press release. Following the takeover, the EKT Group now employs 200 people.

We are proud to be working with them under one roof in the future to become even better together,” Luca Stäger, CEO of Tertianum Group, is quoted as saying in the press release. “The merger also complements our geographical presence, enables numerous synergies in operational excellence through mutual learning and creates new perspectives for all employees.”

    The now joint company will provide needs-based care for 10,000 guests. The Tertianum Group now has a total of 6,400 care beds and 4,300 age-appropriate apartments at 140 locations throughout Switzerland. In order to secure the next generation of nursing staff, 800 apprentices are being trained.
