New strength in Swiss Equans Switzerland
Bouygues Energies & Services und Equans firmieren ab dem 1. Juli 2024 offiziell als «Equans Switzerland». Dieser Zusammenschluss, der Ende 2022 initiiert wurde, bringt ein starkes Unternehmen hervor, das den Herausforderungen der Digitalisierung und Dekarbonisierung gewachsen ist und diese Entwicklungen massgeblich beeinflussen kann. Claudio Picech, CEO von Equans Switzerland, steht seit der Übernahme an der Spitze des Unternehmens.
The rebranding process is in full swing and will continue over the coming months. From 1 July 2024, “Bouygues E&S InTec Schweiz AG” will be renamed “Equans Switzerland AG” and “Bouygues E&S Prozessautomation AG” will be renamed “Equans Switzerland Process Automation AG”. However, these changes do not affect existing business relationships.
The subsidiaries will also undergo adjustments under the new umbrella brand. The Facility Management division was already renamed “Equans Switzerland Facility Management AG” in January 2024. MIBAG Property Managers and Kummler+Matter EVT AG have been given new logos. Bouygues E&S EnerTrans AG became independent as EnerTrans Switzerland AG and also received a new logo.
Expansion of the service portfolio
The strategic merger enables Equans Switzerland to expand its service portfolio and respond even more specifically to the needs of its customers. The focus is on the areas of building technology, energy supply and efficiency, facility management, smart city, transport infrastructure and digital transformation. The aim is to further expand the company’s leading position in these areas.
Opportunities and challenges
Claudio Picech emphasises the importance of this merger: “The merger of Bouygues E&S and Equans is a challenging project that harbours great opportunities. The Swiss company can look back on over 180 years of tradition and history, which makes us all very proud. The coming months will be challenging, but also promising. The involvement of all employees will play a central role in this. Personal contact with all employees is also very important to me. Together, we want to use this change to increase our attractiveness as an employer.” True to the motto: Shaping the future together.
With these structural and strategic changes, Equans Switzerland is positioning itself as a forward-looking company that is ready to successfully master the challenges of the coming years and leave a lasting mark on the industry.
