Press Release
Bauwerk Boen Group has acquired Haas Dom in Croatia, thus gaining access to
important raw material and production capacities
St. Margrethen, December 12, 2016 - Bauwerk Boen Group has acquired Haas Dom,
the Croatian subsidiary of the German Haas Group. Haas Dom is a parquet and
wooden panel producer with an own saw mill in Đurđevac. They maintain a
long-term supply contract with the state forestry administration of Croatia and
employs around 130 people.
Thanks to the take over, Bauwerk Boen can exploit further growth potentials and
respond to the shortage on raw materials, especially of large plank parquet
formats. In a first step, Bauwerk Boen intends to build-up a parquet factory
with a capacity of 1.3 million square meters and 200 employees. In a second
step, the Group aims to double the production capacity.
Zeljka Dolenec will continue as the managing director of Haas Dom as well as its
integration into the Bauwerk Boen Group. Christian Koch, member of the executive
committee of Bauwerk Boen Group, will be responsible for the overall management
of the Southern production locations in Switzerland and Croatia.

About Haas Group
The Haas Group with its core brand Haas Fertigbau is one of the leading
prefabricated building manufacturers and timber construction companies in
Europe. Founded in 1972 by Xaver Haas as a regional carpentry business, the
company gained reputation across borders for prefabricated buildings early on
and later also for further construction and building supplier activities.
Besides organic growth and internationalization, as of the 1980ies the product
portfolio was increasingly diversified by acquisition of companies from adjacent
industries. Most recently, however, a clear focusing strategy on the core
business has been adopted. Today, the clear focus is on prefabricated timber
construction. Haas Fertigbau employs around 1,000 people and generates total
revenues of around EUR 200 million per year. In 2015, the entire Group achieved
a total turnover of EUR 300 million with an employee base of 1,700.
