Topakustik AG is currently enjoying an intensive and exciting phase of further development. The change in the shareholder base has laid important groundwork for a sustainable and successful future. At the same time, with our advanced veneer concept and the veneer plant, we are underlining our expertise and innovative strength in the field of high-quality surfaces. To the outside world, we are now consistent – our workwear symbolises unity, cohesion and a clear image.
Change in Shareholder Base
Topakustik AG is extremely pleased to announce a significant milestone in its company history.
As part of a change in the shareholder base, Markus Hochstrasser (CEO), Andreas Hofmann (CFO) and Sascha Abplanalp (CEO of neue Holzbau AG) will become partners of Topakustik AG.
Guido Achermann and Theodor Jaggi, two experienced figures from the existing shareholder base, have decided to continue their commitment. This shows how much they identify with the company and lends stability to the new structure.
Design meets precision – headquarters with character
With our Topakustik products, we were able to play an active role in shaping Partners Group’s headquarters’ visual and acoustic design in Baar, Switzerland.
Powerfully curved baffles in the auditorium will turn heads and exhibit maximum precision in planning and execution. Sophisticated grid ceilings also create a cohesive overall look in the hallway and restaurant.
One particular highlight is the large hall with its impressive cubic shapes and striking rust finish. Originally, steel plates were planned, but together with Topakustik, a solution was developed that takes design implementation and acoustic performance to a new level. Offices and meeting rooms have been transformed with sound-absorbing MDF surfaces and combine functionality with modern aesthetics. The project is rounded off by the “Green Building,” which complements the historical factory buildings in a striking manner.
From nature to interior design – the new world of veneer from Topakustik
Veneer expertise
Our acoustic solutions symbolise the perfect combination of functionality and aesthetics in modern architecture. However, the foundation for this quality is laid long before the actual production begins. In our in-house veneer plant, the process begins with the careful selection of each individual tree. By maintaining complete control of every stage in the manufacturing process, we guarantee consistently high standards and maximum freedom of design. Depending on the cutting and jointing methods, veneer panels ranging from a finely nuanced to an intentionally rustic look are produced – natural differences that not only influence the effect of the surface, but also the overall impression of the room. This is how we create sustainable solutions that deliver results in every project.
Veneer plant
The Topakustik in-house veneer plant of Staufer Holz GmbH in Rheinau is a key component of Topakustik AG’s value creation. Since its acquisition in 2010, it has enabled veneer production to be independently and precisely controlled. The veneer is prepared exclusively for Topakustik, which ensures consistently high quality. From large to small projects, the veneer can be selected appropriately and customised on site if desired. Flexibility and individual project consulting is our practised corporate philosophy.
Bringing regional identity to life in interior design
This project focused on combining Topakustik Perfo T with Topakustik Custom Line. A high-quality solution that combines acoustics and design was thus created in the Raiffeisenbank branches in Sarnen and Alpnach.
A key design element was the requirement that the mountain silhouette of the respective municipality be reflected in every bank branch. This detail strengthens the architectural identity, creates a connection with the surroundings and promotes proximity to customers.
For a calm overall appearance, the wall surfaces were transformed with a continuous veneer pattern. This creates a harmonious space that radiates openness, trust and value.
To ensure the highest quality, all perforations were tested in advance on various carrier plates. A project that shows how acoustics, design and regional identity can be combined harmoniously.
Topakustik – strong on the inside, visible from the outside
Topakustik is now also visible to the outside world – as a strong team with a clear identity in new workwear. Our employees now have a uniform appearance in branded clothing and make our values recognisable at first glance. The new look not only strengthens our image, but also our team spirit.
For us, the new workwear is more than just functional. It is a visible step in our development.
