Trumer develops and manufactures natural hazard mitigation systems and has done so for over 30 years. These systems are being used worldwide.

Thanks to this acquisition Trumer Schutzbauten GmbH can expand its product portfolio substantially, and gain new patents and approvals especially in regards to the Swiss market. This enables Trumer to expand its presence in the Alps as weil as internationally. Trumer uses the streng position of PFEIFER lsofer on the Swiss market and has founded the Trumer lsofer AG at the previous location in Knonau, canton Zurich.

The need for safety systems and protective structures is increasing worldwide

Economic development and the built environment are continuously growing. A network of roads, railways and runways extend to even the remotest of areas. Increasingly challenging terrain is being developed to enable this growth.

Development in hazardous areas has increased the need for risk mitigation. Landslides, rockfalls and avalanches are examples of such hazards that can cause enormous property damage and threaten personal safety. And these risks are increasing. Progressive climate changes and expanding human intervention in nature is leading to a significant rise in potential hazards.

We have made it our business to minimize these risks and make things as safe as possible. We utilize modern research, intelligent technology and decades of experience to understand natural hazards and create solutions to ensure your safety.
