Achieving the goals step by step

We present a range of exciting projects that offer a glimpse into our activities aimed at ensuring our company’s long-term viability.

Our guiding principle, ‘Preserving values – shaping the future with building materials’, illustrates how we will work together to achieve our goals and make a significant contribution to a future worth living.

Recultivation of the gypsum quarry in Melbach Kerns, Switzerland

Oeko-b has been monitoring and supporting Fixit AG for over 20 years in the extraction of gypsum and the recultivation of the finally extracted zones of the gypsum quarry in Ennetmoos, Switzerland. The areas are being reclaimed. 

Careful embankment, water drainage and greenery protect the former extraction site from erosion and landslides. Extensive meadows suitable for agricultural use were also created in suitable places.

Volunteers cut back shrubs, small trees and grasses to create dry stone wall areas for sand lizards.

Habitats for sand lizards in our gypsum quarry

Together with Pro Natura (IG Haubenmeise subgroup), the Fixit team in Ennetmoos, Switzerland, cleared existing but overgrown dry stone walls in the quarried areas of the Melbach Kerns gypsum quarry of grass, shrubs and bushes.

This makes the stones and walls much more attractive for the endangered sand lizard and also provides other creatures such as insects and birds with a new habitat. 

Generate renewable energy with your own photovoltaic systems

The group FIXIT GRUPPE has already installed new photovoltaic systems at numerous locations or expanded existing systems and is continuing to promote the use of renewable energies. Additional PV systems at other locations across Europe are already being planned or even realised.

In Switzerland, two new photovoltaic systems were installed on the roofs of our two plants in Bex and Sennwald. In total, an area of over 5,000 m² was covered with high-quality photovoltaic modules and put into operation.

Fixit 222 Aerogel high-performance insulating plaster

Energy-efficient building refurbishment can help protect the climate by reducing energy consumption following the refurbishment. This innovative high-performance insulating plaster containing aerogel has been developed for the thermal insulation of listed buildings with external façades that are particularly worthy of protection.

It combines the beneficial properties of mineral lime plaster with the advantages of high-performance aerogel insulation material, originally developed for the space industry.
