Hammer Group takes over balcony specialist Anytech Metallbau
The Hammer Group takes over Anytech Metallbau AG. Through the takeover, the metal construction group strengthens its range with system solutions for balconies.
The Zurich-based Hammer Group is buying Anytech Metallbau AG, based in Huttwil. With the integration of the provider of modular balcony systems, the cooperatively organised group of companies wants to strengthen its position and develop into a comprehensive provider of structural building infrastructure, according to a media release.
Accordingly, the Hammer Group intends to take over the activities of Anytech Metallbau AG, including all employees. The current owner, Anja Russo, will continue to run the company as managing director. She is pleased about the new parent company as an “efficient umbrella organisation and partner, which on the one hand convinces with its entrepreneurial values and vision and on the other hand can further strengthen our market position with its presence throughout Switzerland”.
For clients and partners, too, little will change as a result of the change in ownership. The contact persons will remain the same as before. “Together we can now offer our clients real added value in real estate projects – and all from a single source,” Claudio Ammann, Head of Corporate Development at Hammer Group, is quoted as saying.
The Hammer Group and its subsidiaries are already active in the product areas of bicycle parking systems, pedestrian shelters, barrier systems, street furniture, fire doors, cloakrooms, waste systems and work platforms. Anytech Metallbau’s balcony modules are used in particular in the renovation market, which is becoming increasingly important. The assembly of the system solution is said to take place in an extremely short time.
Nothing was disclosed about the purchase price.
