With its new brand presence and new identity, Vadea AG is also positioned as a separate service provider which is independent from its parent company. Its mission is to provide visionary planning and proximity to the construction site."
Brunner Haustechnik AG was started by Arnold Brunner in 1988. Thanks to planning with foresight, the company has grown to become one of the leading engineering offices for buildings with complex services technology and until recently had a work force of about 25 employees Brunner Haustechnik has built up a great deal of specialist expertise in the fields of cleanrooms, pharmaceuticals, hospitals, higher education buildings and laboratories. In 2010, Brunner Haustechnik was acquired by the Hälg Group as a result of a succession plan. Since the 1980s, Hälg & Co. AG Engineering has become a separate division, naturally arising from customer requirements for the planning of complex building services facilities. Over the past few years, the division has steadily grown and employed around 25 people at the end of 2016. The merger retains all jobs and an expansion of the present specialist team is not ruled out. The complete assets of both Brunner Haustechnik AG and Hälg & Co. AG Engineering are fully transferred to Vadea AG. The registered offices of the new company are in Wallisellen.
