Group profile and strategy
Sustainably customer-oriented
Based on our strategic priorities and a powerful organisation, we generate added value for our customers in all phases of the value creation process. Our focus is on the first three phases of the process: We are expanding our capabilities in consulting, planning, engineering and project management – both organically and through appropriate acquisitions.
Our strategy, organisational units and value creation

Division Real Estate develops sustainable real estate solutions. Implenia is already a leading real estate developer in Switzerland and is currently growing this business in Germany. The Division’s services also include active asset and portfolio management, designing new types of real estate investment vehicle, and the development and industrial production of standardised and scalable real estate products.
Division Buildings focuses on the integrated conception and construction of complex new buildings and challenging modernisation projects. The focus is on providing expert customer-oriented advice and planning across the entire life cycle of a property. The range of services covers the entire value chain, from initial analysis and planning steps – often even before the contracts have been signed – to handover of the finished building. Implenia is a leading general and total contractor in its core markets of Germany and Switzerland.
Division Civil Engineering offers tunnel construction, special foundations, road construction and civil engineering. Services range from the planning of specific special solutions to the entire execution of complex, hybrid infrastructure and civil engineering projects. The use of the latest construction methods and processes, such as BIM and Lean, is becoming increasingly important. In all of these areas, Implenia occupies a leading position in Switzerland and Germany. In other international markets, Implenia limits its offering to tunnelling and related services.
Division Specialties develops solutions for an efficient and sustainable construction industry in niches such as wood construction, geotechnical engineering, pre-tensioning technology, formwork, facade engineering, building technology planning and construction logistics. By continuously adding new services to its portfolio, the Division is actively helping to shape the major changes occurring in the construction industry. Innovation and the added value it brings to customers is a central theme. This innovation can come from screening potential acquisitions, from external partnerships or from Implenia’s internal innovation management system.
