AEW Energie takes over 50 per cent of GA-Werkstatt.ch
The two Aarau-based companies AEW Energie and GA-Werkstatt.ch are joining forces to become a general and total energy management company for buildings. AEW Energie is therefore acquiring a half share in GA-Werkstatt.ch, a subsidiary of Herzog Kull Group Holding.
GA-Werkstatt.ch (GAW) is now owned equally by AEW Energie AG and the previous sole owner, Rotkreuz-based Herzog Kull Group Holding(HKG). With their new joint venture, the partners want to meet the increased demand in the field of building management for commercial properties. As stated in a joint press release, they aim to take a holistic approach and assume the project management role of a general energy company or total energy company.
Both companies are convinced that a building will be an increasingly relevant element in the future energy system as a consumer, producer and store of energy. By working more closely together, they want to offer integrated energy solutions from a single source throughout the country.
The competences of the new partners will complement each other: HKG will gain expertise in the planning of medium and high-voltage systems, according to the press release. The collaboration will enable a holistic view of buildings and grids in all areas of target grid planning. By acquiring a stake in GAW, AEW is expanding its portfolio of grid and energy-related services to include building technology, thereby strengthening its position as a provider of integrated energy services for its customers. Its associated company Virtual Global Trading AG is contributing its digitalisation expertise.
