About Swisspearl

Tradition and innovation
Built upon strong values

As a Swiss family-owned company, we think in terms of future generations, and for decades we have been doing what we do best: Through curiosity, passion, and commitment, we turn raw materials into novel and sustainable products for facades, roofs, interiors, and garden areas. 

The headquarters of today's Swisspearl Group are located in Niederurnen (Switzerland), where one of the first production facilities for fiber cement was founded in 1903. However, the success story of our fiber cement began as early as 1894 in Vöcklabruck, Austria. There, where it was invented by Ludwig Hatschek. 

Today we are proud of our leading position in the innovation and technology of this material, which is used worldwide for the design of architecture and living spaces, exterior and interior. 

Swisspearl stands for Swiss quality  -  worldwide.
