Now led by four siblings in the second generation, Volken Group has developed into one of the largest private employers in the canton of Valais. Since its foundation in 1968 by Franz-Josef Volken, the owner-managed family business has stood for comprehensive construction expertise, highest quality standards, and entrepreneurial foresight.

Short decision-making processes, a strong commitment to quality, and a consistently solution-oriented corporate culture form the foundation of the Group’s sustainable success. The leadership team and around 500 motivated, perfectly coordinated employees jointly deliver above-average performance and ensure high customer satisfaction.

Volken Gerüstbau AG is a central pillar of the Group. With 50 specialized employees, the company delivers demanding scaffolding projects and stands for safety, precision, and efficiency at the highest level. Its particular strength lies in the construction of all types of special scaffolding as well as shoring systems. Facade scaffolding is also part of the company’s service portfolio. Team spirit, responsibility, and openness to new ideas characterize daily work.

In addition, the company has international project experience: Volken has been active in Iraq and Iran, among other countries, where it supported demanding assignments for Siemens and assumed on-site department management. These projects required not only technical excellence, but also strong leadership, organizational skills, and the highest safety competence under complex conditions.
