History

As a facade engineering company, Mebatech has been developed constructive and creative concepts for discerning clients over three decades now. We allow ourselves to be measured by high standards and see our work in the overall context of the projects. This results in solutions that have dealt intensively with the interfaces to other specialist disciplines and the search for synergies.
This approach has shaped our work right from the start and will continue to be the inner driving force for our search and looking for new ideas in the future. The results are diverse, award-winning special constructions and facade types, which shape the public space through their presence until today.

Mebatech AG was founded in 1991 by Jan Andre Zaba as an engin­eering office for metal construc­tion tech­no­logy.
One year later, Adrio D'Agostinis joined the creative company as co-owner and partner. The first major orders such as the Löwenplatz and Feld­pausch commer­cial build­ings were soon real­ized together with Theo Hotz Partner Archi­tects. Pion­eering build­ings such as the KKL Luzern by Jean Nouvel or the new building for Messe Basel were designed by Mebatech.

The company developed steadily in the following years and employs eight to ten engin­eers, archi­tects, constructors and designers til now. In order to guar­an­teed that high level of plan­ning compet­ence in the future, great import­ance is attached to the training of talented young employees.

The engin­eering company is char­ac­ter­ized by its differ­en­ti­ated approach and its inter­dis­cip­linary know-how from very different areas, which flows into our work. From this in-depth know­ledge of facade construc­tion, mech­an­ical engin­eering, ther­mo­dy­namics, statics and building physics, constructive and creative accents for new, innov­ative building envel­opes have been created over and over again.

Whether in the careful hand­ling of existing build­ings and resources or in new build­ings and renov­ations, preserving the value of archi­tec­tural monu­ments, we become reli­able part­ners for our clients. The under­standing of creative ideas and visions, the will­ing­ness to explore new limits and the mixture of calling and devo­tion to detail define Mebatech.

Long-term employees Thomas Burkard and Chris­tian Mörz took over the manage­ment of Mebatech in 2020, with the same credo, the same passion and with new impulses for future chal­lenges. Mebatech should continue to be the first contact for unique building envel­opes and high archi­tec­tural stand­ards.
