history
The company was founded in Aarau in 1882 by Friedrich Rudolf Zurlinden as the “Zurlinden & Co.” cement factory. founded. In 1891 the company opened a second cement factory in Wildegg. In 1897 the company was converted into a stock corporation and renamed “Jura-Cement-Fabriken Aarau and Wildegg”. As a result, the production capacity of the two plants was gradually expanded.
From 1972 onwards, the company gradually began to take over other companies from the sand, gravel and concrete sectors as well as the building trade and thus grew into a corporate group. This led to the introduction of a holding structure in 1996. In 2004, Hastag Holding , founded in 1946, was added as part of the "Sand, Gravel and Concrete" division .
