We are expanding in the market. With retroactive effect from January 1, 2021, we are taking over Basler & Hofmann West AG, based in Zollikofen, from Basler & Hofmann Holding AG. This will significantly expand our market position in the Berne area.

Assuming a successful closing at the end of January, Basler & Hofmann West AG will operate under Gruner as of February and will be integrated into our organization. "We are looking forward to the new colleagues and, after many personal discussions, are convinced of their competencies and their performance," says our CEO Olivier Aebi.
