About Swisspearl
Swisspearl Group AG is a Swiss family-owned company specializing in the production of high-quality fibre cement building materials. The company is recognized internationally for innovative construction solutions used in architecture, building envelopes, and interior design. With over a century of experience, Swisspearl combines tradition, innovation, and sustainability in the construction industry.
Swisspearl has a long tradition dating back to the development of fibre cement technology. The story of this material began in 1894, when fibre cement was invented by Ludwig Hatschek in Austria. Later, in 1903, one of the first fibre cement production facilities was established in Niederurnen, Switzerland, where the company’s headquarters remain today.
Swisspearl is still owned by a private Swiss entrepreneurial family and has grown into a major international manufacturer with more than 2300 employees and eight facilities across Europe. The company expanded its market position further by acquiring the Danish fibre cement manufacturer Cembrit in 2022, becoming one of the largest fibre cement producers in Europe.
Swisspearl produces fibre cement products that are widely used in construction and architecture. Fibre cement is a composite material known for its strength, durability, and resistance to weather conditions.
The company’s main product categories include:
- Facade panels and cladding systems
- Roofing materials and slates
- Interior design panels
- Garden and landscape products
- Building boards and structural systems
- Solar and fire protection solutions
These products are valued for their long lifespan, low maintenance requirements, and aesthetic flexibility, allowing architects and designers to create modern and sustainable buildings.
Swisspearl operates internationally, with production plants and sales networks across several European countries such as Switzerland, Austria, Finland, Hungary, Poland, Czech Republic, and Slovenia.
The company serves customers in dozens of countries and collaborates with architects, construction companies, and designers worldwide. Swisspearl Slovenia, based in Anhovo, is a key part of the Swisspearl Group in SouthEast Europe. It produces and distributes fibre cement materials while supporting customers and distributors across the region. Acting as a regional hub, Swisspearl Slovenia strengthens the company’s presence in SEE countries, bringing Swiss innovation and quality to local construction markets.
