We have experienced strong growth in recent years and believe that now is the right time to join a corporate group that can further support us in developing the necessary processes and structures. Already during the discussions prior to the transaction, we developed many valuable ideas together with the Winterberg team and see exciting synergies, particularly in the area of mechanical calibration and testing. We expect sustainable results in this area as early as this year and are very much looking forward to contributing to the development of this dynamic and highly motivated group. For our customers, everything remains unchanged — all familiar contacts will remain on board. We have many plans ahead together.” 

 

Fabian Kröher, Chairman of the Board of Directors of TIC Holding Schweiz and Partner at Winterberg, adds: “Vibro-Consult is truly a unique company. It is the clear market leader in Switzerland and, due to its highly specialized capabilities, is also in demand worldwide. We are therefore delighted that Vibro-Consult is strengthening our Industry platform. We will deploy all available resources to provide Vibro-Consult with the best possible foundation for continued growth, enabling the company to build on its highly impressive development of recent years.”

Baar, Switzerland – January 2025 

TIC Holding Schweiz has successfully completed the acquisition of HSE Conseils SA, whose headquarters are located in Laténa, Neuchâtel, and which operates six additional sites in the cantons of Vaud, Valais, Geneva, Fribourg and Jura. The former owner, Marc Dutoit, is reinvesting as part of the transaction at holding level and will continue to serve as Chief Executive Officer of the company. 

 

For nearly 20 years, HSE Conseils SA has been a leading specialist in construction-related pollutants, environmental services and occupational health and safety in French-speaking Switzerland.
HSE Conseils SA offers a comprehensive portfolio of services for construction companies, property managers, planners, private enterprises and public institutions. These services include, in particular, the diagnosis and analysis of pollutants (asbestos, PCBs, lead), environmental and waste management, occupational health and safety concepts (MSST), as well as a dedicated training centre. All analyses are conducted in the company’s in-house laboratory, accredited by SAS (Swiss Accreditation Service), and form the basis for robust, legally compliant solutions. Another core focus lies in advisory and planning services related to safety on construction sites and within enterprises, complemented by training and continuing education programmes. HSE Conseils SA supports its clients from initial risk assessment through to the implementation of protective and remediation measures, thereby contributing to safe, sustainable and compliant working and construction environments. 

 

Marc Dutoit commented: “TIC Holding is the ideal acquirer for our already multi-site and multi-sector company. What convinced me above all was the team, the strong entrepreneurial momentum, and the group’s decentralised and federal structure. I look forward to continuing the development of the ‘construction safety, environment and occupational health & safety’ platform within the holding. Together, we will further accelerate HSE’s strong growth while benefiting from synergies with the other group companies. Our organisational structure, our entire team and all client contacts will remain unchanged, and we will continue to deliver the highest quality and maximum reliability.” 

 

Ralph Nowak, Member of the Board of Directors of TIC Holding Schweiz and Partner at Winterberg, added: “We are delighted to welcome HSE to our group. With HSE, we now cover the industrial sector, construction materials, as well as construction safety, environmental services and occupational health and safety. This marks an important milestone in the development of TIC Holding Schweiz—these three platforms underscore our position as a leading independent group in these fields across Switzerland. At the same time, we continue to advance the implementation of more efficient and transparent processes through digitalisation and artificial intelligence, enabling both employees and clients to fully benefit from group-wide synergies. TIC Holding Schweizwill also continue on its defined path in 2026, focusing on independence, quality and scalability.” 

 

Winterberg, which is active in Switzerland in the field of accredited testing and calibration services—particularly in construction and infrastructure, as well as in industrial metrology and materials testing—is actively pursuing further acquisitions. TIC Holding Schweiz is being continuously strengthened to ensure comprehensive coverage of all relevant disciplines and a nationwide geographic presence.

In 2005, Alessandro Capone founded Metron Measurement SA, a calibration laboratory based in Quartino in the canton of Ticino, together with his father, Angelo. Following its initial SCS accreditation in the field of length measurement, Metron successfully expanded its customer and partner base across Switzerland over the past two decades and consistently secured additional accreditations. Today—following its most recent reaccreditation in 2024—Metron offers a comprehensive portfolio in length, form, torque, force, and electrical measurements, positioning it as one of Switzerland’s leading providers in this field. At the end of 2024, Metron Measurement SA became the first company in the portfolio of the newly established TIC Holding Schweiz AG, in which the Capone family also holds a direct shareholding. 

Only nine months later, the Ticino-based entrepreneur was asked by the investors to assume the CEO position of TIC Holding Schweiz AG in order to guide both the management team and the integration of the group. He will take on this role in addition to his responsibilities as Managing Director of Metron Measurement SA, working closely with the investors’ Board representatives. 

“Alessandro is the ideal candidate for this role. He brings 20 years of experience in building testing laboratories and in collaborating with accreditation bodies, customers, and employees. Metron is an impressive success story and is widely regarded across Switzerland as a fast-growing, dynamic, and customer-centric leader in its field. We are delighted that he will now lead TIC Holding as it executes its ambitious acquisition and integration strategy, and we greatly look forward to working with him,” says Fabian Kröher, Chairman of the Board of TIC Holding Schweiz AG and Partner at Winterberg. 

The appointment comes at the right time—TIC Holding Schweiz AG recently secured additional investors and raised a total of CHF 35 million in equity to support the next phase of its growth trajectory. 

“I am truly excited about this new challenge,” adds Alessandro Capone. “We have a unique opportunity to build a Swiss market leader and to introduce innovative approaches—such as digitalization—across the entire industry. Our goal is to remain a trusted partner to the Swiss industrial community, consistently delivering the highest standards of quality and reliability while offering tailored solutions for every customer.” 

The group is currently acting as a frontrunner in several ongoing acquisition processes and expects to complete additional transactions before year-end.

Winterberg Investment X, a fund advised by Winterberg Advisory GmbH, has successfully completed its second closing. The target equity range of EUR 20–25 million was significantly exceeded, with the fund closing oversubscribed at its hard cap of EUR 35 million (including future management commitments). Following two completed acquisitions, the fund will continue to advance its Swiss buy, build and technologize platform in the field of accredited testing, inspection, and certification services, pursuing further acquisitions of small and mid-sized Swiss companies in the sector. 

Baar, Switzerland – 30. September 2025 

At the end of last year, Winterberg—together with funds advised by Yana Investment Partners, a leading European small-cap specialist—established TIC Holding Schweiz AG as a platform to build a leading provider in Switzerland’s accredited testing, inspection, and certification (TIC) market. To date, two companies have been acquired, with a third transaction expected to close shortly. 

Through its portfolio companies Metron Measurement SA and TransGeo AG, TIC Holding Schweiz AG operates in the calibration of tools and measurement instruments, as well as in chemical, mechanical, and other testing of industrial materials and products, such as building materials. All group companies are accredited by the Swiss Accreditation Service (SAS). Given the continuous demand for such services—fueled by increasing regulatory requirements—the sector is regarded as both crisis-resilient and highly attractive to investors.

Fabian Kröher, Chairman of the Board of TIC Holding Schweiz AG and Partner at Winterberg, commented: “Following a very successful launch of TIC Holding Schweiz, a promising pipeline of additional acquisition targets, and strong financial performance of our existing portfolio companies, the second closing of our fund was significantly oversubscribed – with total potential commitments of more than EUR 50 million.”  

Ralph Nowak, Partner at Winterberg, added: “We are currently in discussions with a number of additional targets, particularly successful owner-managers seeking to secure a long-term succession solution. Against this backdrop, we are confident in our ability to build another significant Swiss industrial group and to deploy our investors’ capital efficiently and responsibly.” 

Dr. Hanspeter Bader, Founding Partner of Yana Investment Partners and Board Member of TIC Holding Schweiz AG, noted: “The exceptionally strong investor demand in the second closing exceeded our expectations. We are very pleased with how the investment is developing and proud to have recognized the group’s potential early on. As a lead investor and member of the Board, we look forward to continuing to shape TIC Holding Schweiz AG’s strategic direction alongside Winterberg.”
