Swiss engineering group tackles shortage of skilled workers together

Swiss Engineers United AG SEU was developed as a platform for Switzerland by engineers for engineers. It responds to the ongoing shortage of skilled workers and other current challenges in the engineering industry with a special business model: SEU grows through the targeted acquisition and smooth integration of healthy SMEs, with the owners of the partner companies and all existing SEU shareholders participating in the holding company. It is an ecosystem that brings together vital and innovative engineering companies by combining know-how, latest technologies and innovative ideas under one roof.

Overcoming challenges together

"Our goal is to help shape the future of the industry, to tackle challenges together and to combine the spirit of innovation, expertise and dynamic entrepreneurship," says SEU co-owner and Chairman of the Board Franco Quinter, summarizing the credo of the newly founded holding company.  

With its multi-brand strategy, SEU, headquartered in Pfäffikon SZ, focuses on the uniqueness of its partner companies. Co-owner and board member Christian Vetsch says: "For SMEs, cooperation at eye level is much more valuable than energy-sapping competition. With our model, we enable far-reaching synergy effects and strengthen the individual partner companies individually and specifically." In addition, the SEU Group also enables successful succession solutions by separating the takeover of the company management from the financing of the purchase price.

Create synergies

In an increasingly digitalized world, SEU strives to create important synergies and optimize resources through innovations and its own international production sites.

At the same time, the Group values strong customer loyalty and is aware that it owes its success to its committed employees. Therefore, SEU promotes participation and further training, offers clear and transparent communication, and focuses on individual meaningfulness and appreciation of performance.

Soft integration strategy

For SEU, it is clear that each company is unique and has its own spirit. That is why the Group attaches great importance to a gentle integration strategy. Only necessary adjustments are made; the individual brand image, the external market presence and the unique spirit of the respective corporate culture are retained.

"We want to bring together the best in the industry and work with our partners and co-companies to proactively shape the future on an equal footing," says Chairman of the Board Franco Quinter of SEU.
