News31.03.2009 Daetwyler Cables strengthens engineering expertise
31 March 2009. The Daetwyler Group is reinforcing its Cables Division. Daetwyler Cables is acquiring the engineering business of Naefels-based SymbioTec Inc. (Switzerland) on 1 April 2009. The acquisition of this fast growing start-up company covers the customer base, customer contracts and key personnel. Daetwyler Cables will benefit from its broad expertise in highly specialised consulting, engineering and other services focused on data networks (structured building cabling and fibre-to-the-home). This acquisition will strengthen Daetwyler Cables' position as a supplier of complete solutions for electrical building infrastructure.
In addition to premium cabling solutions and the existing services, Daetwyler Cables can now offer services such as site audits, company-wide standardisation and roll-outs or layer 1 out-tasking (service desk), thus enabling large organisations to considerably reduce costs. The company has specialised in applications for computer centres, office buildings, shopping centres, sports stadiums, exhibition grounds, government buildings, universities, hotels, hospitals, airports, tunnels and fibre-to-the-home solutions.
