REAL ESTATE SERVICES
Regionally anchored preferred partner in Property Management and Facility Services
In the Real Estate Services business segment, Investis pursues two activities throughout Switzerland: Property Management and Facility Services. Being among the leaders in the sector, the Group companies seek to develop forward-looking services that focus on maintaining the value of the properties and customers’ quality of life. This business segment generated revenues of CHF 174 million in 2022, with an EBIT margin of 10.6%. The companies Privera AG, Hauswartprofis AG/Conciergepro SA, Rohr AG and AnalysisLAB AG were given a new umbrella structure, Valores in 2022, under which the companies retain their operative independence and act sovereignly in their respective markets.
There was a slight 0.4% rise in revenue at Property Management to CHF 60.7 million.
Rents under management came to CHF 1.58 billion (vs. CHF 1.51 billion at the end of 2021).
Facility Services achieved revenue of CHF 112.9 million (CHF 99.5 million), a rise of 13.5%.
The segment thus contributes around 40% of the Group’s EBITDA before revaluation/disposals. The segment focuses on high-quality services and growth with margin consolidation as well as a further push on digitalisation.
Property Management
Privera is a leading independent real estate service provider. It generates its revenue primarily through property management (from tenant selection to administration to on-site technical services), the management of complex co-ownership associations, the operation of around 25 retail locations, property trading and construction management (analysis, construction planning and implementation). Overall, Privera takes care of 118,000 rental units that belong to 450 different owners. It differs from its competitors through its nationwide presence and comprehensive portfolio.
FACILITY SERVICES
The main brands active in Facility Services are Hauswartprofis/Conciergepro, Home Service, Rohr AG, AnalysisLAB, and Aatest.
Hauswartprofis/Conciergepro offers all services related to house and garden maintenance/design throughout Switzerland especially, but not exclusively for large facility management companies. The use of digital tools to increase efficiency and quality is becoming more and more standard.
Home Service became part of the Investis Group in June 2022. Its name stands for a premium offering in the field of home maintenance and garden services. Solutions at Home Service are never standard, but always tailor-made for the properties and customers. Its customers include more than 1,500 buildings and 990 gardens in four cantons.
Rohr AG, headquartered in Hausen, Canton of Aargau, has been on a geographic expansion course since its acquisition by the Investis Group in March 2021. After years of concentrating on the Canton of Aargau and the surrounding districts, it is now active throughout Switzerland from 8 branches. With around 8,000 orders annually, Rohr AG is Switzerland’s largest centrally controlled special cleaning company. The two main revenue pillars are maintenance and special cleaning. It has 11 lifting platforms up to a height of 52 metres, especially for facade cleaning. In maintenance cleaning, more and more digital tools are being used in the more than 1,000 properties it manages. Rohr’s other revenue stream, clean room expertise, is based on practical experience in the areas of microelectronics, micromechanics, pharmaceutics, medical technology, optics, biotechnology and the food industry.
AnalysisLAB, headquartered in Bienne/Biel, is a specialist for the analysis of building pollutants in various materials and in the air. Customers include professionals in the field of building and environmental toxicology as well as private customers.
