Partnership for sustainable construction
Stable future prospects and new opportunities
Since mid-August 2025, we have had a new shareholder and strong partner at our side. Frutiger, one of the largest construction and real estate service providers in Switzerland, has acquired a 30% stake in our company, enabling further growth in the timber construction sector.
The two family-run companies Blumer Lehmann and Frutiger, which share common values and around 150 years of company history, are entering into a strategic partnership. With around 2500 employees, Frutiger is one of the largest construction and real estate service providers in Switzerland, and its stake in our company marks a return to its roots in timber construction. The partnership brings together two successful, family-run Swiss companies in the construction industry, creates a solid foundation for our future and further growth, and manages the succession of the Lehmann family.
Independence and shared strengths
“My biggest concern has always been to create long-term, sustainable value for Blumer Lehmann, especially for our employees, but also for our customers and suppliers,’ explains CEO Katharina Lehmann. “Frutiger values us as a successful company and supports our dynamic development in timber construction and the timber industry.”
Under the operational leadership of CEO Katharina Lehmann and with its proven team, Blumer Lehmann will remain independent. Our 600+ employees benefit from stable future prospects and increased development opportunities. There will be no change to our strategic or operational focus.
A powerhouse for sustainable construction
The partnership opens up new market opportunities and makes it possible to tap into synergies – particularly in the area of complete packages for large-volume timber constructions or hybrid constructions. Together, we are creating a “powerhouse” in sustainable construction that generates real added value for customers, employees and partners. By combining our timber construction expertise with Frutiger’s broad construction knowledge, we can create new opportunities both in Switzerland and abroad.
