About OBO Bettermann in Switzerland
Bettermann AG (OBO Bettermann) is the Swiss sales and system company of the OBO Bettermann Group and a provider of system solutions for electrical infrastructure. The product range comprises around 30,000 products in the areas of industrial installation (cable support, connection and fastening systems), building installation (cable routing and floor duct systems) and protection installation (lightning protection, surge protection, fire protection). Metallic components are manufactured predominantly from steel with surfaces such as strip and hot-dip galvanizing; in addition, stainless steel 1.4301, aluminium, brass and plastics such as polypropylene and PVC are used; in the fire protection sector, products made of glass fibre lightweight concrete and concrete are offered. Typical products are cable trays and long-span systems, spot-welded G-mesh cable trays, walkable cable tray systems (BKRS) as well as surge protection devices for industry, building installation and PV systems. Bettermann AG is based in Wolfenschiessen in Switzerland and serves industrial, building and protection installation projects domestically, including applications for seismic safety and functional integrity.
