Gruner has adapted and restructured the building technology organization in the Northwestern Switzerland region. Since the beginning of May, Daniel Büchler as Head of Building Technology Northwestern Switzerland and Markus Butz as Head of Energy Technology have assumed responsibility for their respective areas.

With the new management structure, Gruner is pursuing the goal of aligning itself even more closely with the needs of its customers in both areas. The new organization enables a clearer focus on specialist areas, greater proximity to practice and targeted collaboration, both internally and externally. At the same time, Gruner is strengthening its regional roots in Basel. By investing in the further development of the teams, the targeted expansion of local networks and an increased presence at the location, the company is creating the basis for sustainable and tailor-made solutions.

In terms of content, the focus is on sustainable and simple systems. Low-tech solutions, energy-efficient planning and an integral understanding of sustainability are to be incorporated even more strongly into projects and processes in future. In energy technology, the focus is on the development of sophisticated supply concepts in the areas of renewable energies, line and central construction as well as HVACSE-MSR.

With this reorientation, Gruner is providing a clear impetus for the further development of building technology and energy technology in the region and creating the basis for innovative and sustainable project work.
