Hug Baustoffe takes over Stauffacher Beläge
Hug Baustoffe acquires the Schwyz company Stauffacher Beläge GmbH. With the takeover, the building materials trader wants to position itself more strongly around Lake Zurich.
Hug Baustoffe AG has acquired Stauffacher Beläge GmbH, based in Lachen in the canton of Schwyz. According to a media release, the acquisition represents a logical step for the building materials trader in its expansion around Lake Zurich. “Through the acquisition, we are expanding our local presence with the well-known showroom and personal advice,” Managing Director Dominik Rieder is quoted as saying.
The full-range retailer stocks 500,000 articles for private as well as public-commercial new construction and renovation projects. At ten locations, Hug operates craftsmen’s shops, building materials warehouses, bathroom and tile exhibitions for interior fittings, as well as a large-scale gardening exhibition at its headquarters. In addition to the building materials range, machines and tools are sold and rented out.
Hug takes over all employees of Stauffacher Beläge GmbH. The wholesaler has made a name for itself with its selection of high-quality ceramic wall and floor tiles, facades and parquet. The company advises private builders and developers as well as architects, tilers and general contractors on floor and wall concepts tailored to interior and exterior spaces.
Customers benefit from the “alliance”, which allows access to new product lines. “In terms of advice, we are now reinforced by the large team of experts at Hug Baustoffe AG,” Edith Stauffacher, owner of Stauffacher Beläge since 2015, is quoted as saying in the press release.
