CONTINUING EDUCATION
Training & Development
We want everyone who works with us to be able to grow both professionally and personally. That’s why we actively support our employees in pursuing individual continuing education—from training in hydraulics, electrical engineering, and NIV certification to general electrical training and language courses, all the way up to advanced vocational programs such as HF or CAS at technical colleges. Depending on your role, we may also support driving school or first-aid courses. Together, we’ll find the right educational path so you can continuously expand your skills and shape your professional future in a targeted way.
OUR MISSION STATEMENT
Creating Space for the Future Together
We develop and implement solutions in parking technology, garage construction, and system engineering—with roots in the Bern region and projects throughout Switzerland. Our goal: functional, safe, and aesthetically pleasing facilities that make everyday life easier, make smart use of space, and create long-term value.
We take responsibility—for quality, safety, the environment, and treating one another fairly.
For us,quality means thorough planning, precise execution, and reliable service throughout the entire lifespan of a system.
With a commitment to responsibility and sustainability, we develop solutions that are technically sound and built to last.
For us,partnership means communicating openly, providing honest advice, and standing reliably by our customers’ side—even on challenging projects.
Through innovation and pragmatism, we combine proven technology with new ideas—always keeping in mind what truly works for our customers.
Our employees are the foundation of our success. We value expertise, personal responsibility, and a spirit of teamwork. Modern employment conditions, a collegial work environment, and short decision-making processes ensure that everyone can take on responsibility and help shape the future.
Because technology is constantly evolving, we provide our employees with targeted support for their professional development—for example, through continuing education in hydraulics and electrical engineering (including NIV), general electrical engineering training, language courses, advanced vocational training such as HF or CAS, driver’s education, and first aid and safety courses. This ensures that our expertise continues to grow and that we’ll be able to offer state-of-the-art solutions well into the future.
Our clients from the public sector, the business community, and the private sector are at the heart of everything we do. We listen, analyze carefully, and develop solutions that are technically sound, economically sound, and tailored to each client’s specific needs. Transparent communication, clear proposals, and on-time implementation are a given for us.
We maintain open, fair, and long-term relationships with our suppliers, specialist planners, and other partners. Only when everyone works well together can we develop solutions that deliver results in everyday use—from the initial consultation through commissioning and beyond.
