The HAKI Group has launched HAKI Safety SA, based in Thônex in the canton of Geneva, marking a further step in its expansion across Switzerland.
The move follows several years of activity in French-speaking Switzerland, where HAKI says demand for its safety solutions has grown steadily. The company points to Switzerland’s stringent regulatory environment as a key driver for continued investment, particularly in construction site safety.
HAKI said the new subsidiary would allow it to take a more structured approach to growth in the country, while improving customer support and strengthening relationships with local clients. Plans include the gradual development of a dedicated field team, local offices, and a logistics warehouse to serve the wider Swiss market.
Thomas Garcia, Managing Director of HAKI France, said the company’s Swiss presence had developed consistently over the past eight years.
“For the past eight years, HAKI has been able to develop its presence in Switzerland, thanks to its clients who have given us a privileged place on their construction sites,” he said. “Turnover has been steadily increasing year after year.”
He added that establishing a local subsidiary would help the business remain closer to customers. “Opening this subsidiary in Switzerland is an opportunity to pursue our growth across the country in a more structured way. Being close to our customers to support them remains a priority for us.”
As part of the expansion, Julien Cru, who has been responsible for the Swiss market to date, will take on commercial management of HAKI Safety SA.
The company said the new operation would support its long-term ambitions in Switzerland, as demand for compliant and reliable safety systems continues to increase across the construction sector.
