The company was founded on March 1, 1968 by Fritz Zaugg Senior. Ten years later, the company was transformed into a public limited company. In 1992, the management of f. zaugg ag was passed on to the 2nd generation. In 2003, the company moved to its new premises at Bierigutstrasse 22 in Thun.

We are a company that is managed according to modern principles. Our management style is based on honesty, team spirit and fairness. We invest in the future and attach great importance to serious apprenticeship training. We provide our budding professionals with plenty of knowledge and practice along the way.
A balanced business result secures our social function as a company and thus jobs in our region.

In today's world, it is important to look ahead and create the conditions to remain successful in the long term and to be able to respond even better to the needs of our customers.
For this reason, we joined the Kältering in 2014.
The Kältering brings together independent refrigeration companies with strong regional roots, some of which have over 100 years of experience in the industry.
The Kältering Group moves with the times and can therefore pass on technical and ecological improvements to its customers at an earlier stage. This is particularly important today, at a time when everything is moving faster and faster. This means that we can continue to offer you innovative, state-of-the-art refrigeration systems. Synergies can also be exploited in the administrative area and in the area of training and further education.

Since moving to Bierigut in 2003, f. zaugg ag Kälte + Klima, which has specialized in the manufacture, installation and commissioning of energy-efficient refrigeration systems, air conditioning systems and heat pumps for more than 50 years, has grown steadily.
The company now employs over 70 people and trains apprentices as refrigeration system planners and the majority of apprentices throughout Switzerland as refrigeration system fitters, who repeatedly make a name for themselves with outstanding results. (At the Swiss Professional Championships, they not only won bronze in 2018, but also gold in 2022 & 2014)
Growth is also associated with structural and organizational adjustments. After detailed clarifications, it was decided to retain the current strategically optimal location in Thun and by expanding and renovating the building in terms of energy technology, we can now work in a modern and functional environment.
The expansion included a larger workshop area, a covered access road, offices and storage rooms.
