About Cava Halbfabrikate AG
Cava Halbfabrikate AG, based in Ilanz (Graubünden, Switzerland), specialises in the production and distribution of semi-finished products for plumber's supplies. Its core business is stamping and forming technology in metal, from which a broad product range emerges: gutter hooks, perforated sheets, ventilation strips, ventilation profiles, gravel strips, gutter ties, fixed clips, sliding clips, gutter ties, snow guard systems and fastening systems. The CAVA-Styrofix dowel family is manufactured in-house; it is installed directly into the first insulation layer without pre-drilling, thus avoiding thermal bridges. Materials processed include copper, stainless steel (CrNi, 1.4301, Uginox FTE), galvanised steel, CuTi zinc and aluminium (including EN-AW6060-T66). In addition, Cava AG distributes fall protection systems from Access in Switzerland as general representative, as well as S-5! standing seam clamps. The semi-finished products are sold exclusively through a dealer network throughout Switzerland; end consumers are roof plumbers, plumbing and façade contractors and building owners. Snow guard systems and accessories round out the offering, most recently a snow guard for photovoltaic systems in accordance with SIA standards 261/231.
