history
Losinger & Cie
The company was founded in 1917 when the two brothers Oskar and Eugen Losinger first built natural roads and paths for agriculture. In 1920 they founded Losinger & Cie. in Burgdorf , which was converted into a stock corporation in 1922 . Oskar Losinger managed the Zurich branch and carried out the first major order between 1921 and 1923, a 3.3 kilometer long power plant tunnel in Klosters . This entry into civil engineering contributed significantly to the company's development. After the early death of Oskar Losinger, his brother continued to run the company on his own from 1924 and built it into one of the most important construction companies in Switzerland with a wide network of branches.
In 1959, Vinzenz Losinger, the second generation, joined the company. From 1962 he took over the management. Under his leadership, Losinger AG was listed on the stock exchange in 1968 and, thanks to construction work of all kinds, developed into the largest Swiss construction company operating worldwide. In 1980 the company had 5,400 employees and achieved sales of 650 million Swiss francs. With the Losinger prestressing system (VSL) and other VSL special construction processes, for example in lifting technology with the strand jacks developed in-house , Losinger became one of the world's largest specialist companies for prestressed concrete technology .
The most important areas of activity included transport structures , including the Lorraine Bridge in Bern , the Požarevac - Kučevo railway line in Serbia , the Grindelwald - First Railway, Zurich Airport in Kloten , as well as the construction of power plants , including the Grande Dixence dams , the latter for a long time was the world's tallest dam.
In 1990 the majority of the shares went to the French Bouygues Group. In the following year, Vinzenz Losinger left the company. Under the new ownership structure, the company was realigned, in particular the focus on Switzerland and the integration of foreign activities into the Bouygues Group.
Marazzi Generalunternehmung AG
In the summer of 2006, Losinger Construction took over the traditional Marazzi Group , which will continue to exist as a legally independent company within the Losinger Group. Marazzi Generalunternehmung AG is the most important area of Marazzi Holding . Only the business activities and employees of Marazzi Bauunternehmung AG were sold to Frutiger AG in Thun at the beginning of 2008 . Marazzi was founded in 1907 by the Italian immigrant Lorenzo Marazzi as a construction business in Signau in Bern . As a result, he converted the company together with his son Hugo into the general partnership Lorenzo Marazzi + Son .
After the death of his father in 1953, Hugo Marazzi took over the former plant in Signau as a branch and in 1963 converted the company into the joint stock company Marazzi + Co. AG , which in 1978 became Marazzi AG . In 1972 Hugo Marazzi and his son Bruno, who had been with the company since 1971, founded Marazzi Generalunternehmung AG in Bern. This took on construction contracts of all kinds from the complete planning to the execution of buildings. It also manages properties through buying / selling, renting and managing. In 1989 Marazzi moved the company headquarters to Muri near Bern . The individual companies of the group were merged in 1993 under the Marazzi Holding AG .
