Perché il dato « solo a registro » conta
Un’acquisizione svizzera diventa pubblica due volte: quando qualcuno ne scrive e quando il registro di commercio pubblica il cambio di controllo. La seconda accade sempre, la prima spesso no. 0 delle 18 transazioni di agosto non sono mai finite sulla stampa — sono qui perché ValIndex legge il registro stesso, ogni pubblicazione, ogni settimana.

Dentsu Tracking
acquisita da Aricoma (KKCG)
Completed 1 August, announced 3 August. The Czech KKCG group's IT arm takes the Swiss-headquartered supply-chain traceability business from dentsu, with roughly 60 technology specialists across Switzerland and Spain. The work is regulated-sector track-and-trace for governments and multinationals — sticky, compliance-driven revenue. Lenz & Staehelin advised on the Swiss side.

Gelpell AG
acquisita da 1Q Health Group (NORD Holding)
German private-equity house NORD Holding adds the Swiss softgel specialist to its 1Q Health platform — the fifth bolt-on since the group was formed and the second this year, after EHF Production. Gelpell develops and contract-manufactures softgel, hard and vegetarian capsules and holds patented GELPELL Beads technology. IFBC advised NORD Holding; McDermott acted on the legal side. A Swiss CDMO absorbed into a European roll-up.

simpego Versicherungen AG
acquisita da Visana Allgemeine Versicherungen AG
Pax Holding sold its 61.33 per cent majority and Visana took out every minority holder, including Munich's die Bayerische, which exits Switzerland entirely. simpego was founded in 2016 as Dextra Versicherungen AG and wrote CHF 55.27m of gross premiums in 2025; around 70 jobs are retained. A Swiss health insurer buying a Swiss digital non-life carrier is the clearest domestic consolidation print of the week.

Senator (business operations)
acquisita da Pagani Pens SA
Effective 1 August, announced 5 August. Pagani Pens SA of Cadempino, the company behind PRODIR, bought the operations of the Groß-Bieberau pen maker from the administrator of its March insolvency. The German plant stays open, around 120 jobs are preserved, and SENATOR continues as a separate brand. Baker McKenzie advised the buyer.

LevelTen Energy
acquisita da ABB
ABB took a minority stake in LevelTen Energy, the US marketplace for clean-energy procurement, alongside a commercial partnership. Terms were not disclosed. A megacap minority investment in a foreign platform: relevant to ABB's electrification strategy, and to anyone selling grid software, but not to Swiss mid-market ownership. No Swiss entity changed hands and no Swiss balance sheet moved.

Aroma-Zone
acquisita da Partners Group
Exclusive negotiations announced 6 August, not a signed deal. Aroma-Zone turned over EUR 300m in 2025, up 52 per cent, having more than tripled revenue since Eurazeo invested in 2021, with over five million active customers. At EUR 2bn that is roughly 6.7 times 2025 revenue, both figures disclosed. Eurazeo would take about EUR 576m gross and keep a significant minority.

AVK Power Solutions
acquisita da Partners Group
Majority stake in the UK-headquartered data-centre power specialist, announced the same day as the Aroma-Zone talks. Funded from the fourth direct infrastructure programme, which closed above USD 15bn in July. AVK builds back-up generation, behind-the-meter microgrids and modular power units; management retains a minority.

Pixi (IP acquired from inscribe)
acquisita da zvoove Group
Announced 11 August. zvoove bought the intellectual property behind Pixi, a WhatsApp-based onboarding agent for temporary workers, from Roger Tobler, founder of the Swiss AI-automation firm inscribe. Pixi goes to zvoove customers in Switzerland. This is a carve-out of an asset, not of a company: the founder sold the IP and kept the business, which is how most small Swiss software exits actually look and why they rarely register as M&A anywhere.

Varia US Properties AG (13 of 17 properties)
acquisita da Brookfield Asset Management
Definitive agreement signed 14 August. Thirteen properties, 4,112 units across nine US states, into a two-vehicle joint venture: Brookfield 90 per cent, Varia US 10 per cent, with up to USD 200 million of further Brookfield equity available for acquisitions. Four properties remain wholly owned by Varia US. The figure is the gross asset value of a property portfolio, not a company price, so no acquisition multiple exists here.

Ascend Sport Technology AG
acquisita da EvoNext Holdings SA (reverse merger)
Ad-hoc release of 17 August confirming advanced discussions, not a signed deal. EvoNext is the listed remnant of a Swiss fermentation-ingredients business that sold its operations to Danstar Ferment in 2023; Ascend, of Kriens, runs AI-driven virtual advertising boards around football pitches and was deployed at the 2026 World Cup. The structure implies CHF 2.50 per existing EvoNext share and values Ascend at CHF 500-600 million. EvoNext closed 33 per cent higher at CHF 2.65.

Gulf Lime Co LLC
acquisita da Omya AG
Announced 19 August. Omya, the privately held calcium-carbonate producer, buys an Abu Dhabi processing business to serve Gulf customers from local capacity rather than European exports.

Fermacell (James Hardie's European walling and flooring business)
acquisita da Holcim Ltd
Announced 20 August.

Holcim guides to roughly EUR 22 million of run-rate EBITDA synergies by year three, and expects to close in the first half of 2027 subject to clearance. About two times sales on the disclosed figures.

Well (merged with Compassana into Compassana-Well AG)
acquisita da Compassana

Switzerland's two competing digital-health platforms combine into Compassana-Well AG, backed by eleven hospital, provider and insurer shareholders whose books together cover around 70 per cent of the insured population. Operations start 1 January 2027, subject to regulatory clearance. This is a shareholder consolidation rather than a purchase: the same insurers funded both platforms and have stopped paying twice for one network.

acquisita da Sudarshan Switzerland SLO AG (Sudarshan Chemical Industries)
Signed 25 August.

A supply relationship converted into ownership of the asset. The dyes colour anodised aluminium for automotive, consumer electronics and packaging.

acquisita da Bystronic AG
Announced 27 August.

Armin Haller, registered as board president in August 2025, stays as chief executive; Domenico Iacovelli leads Bystronic. Isochronic keeps its name. Terms undisclosed.
Come è stata costruita questa lista
Ogni settimana ValIndex analizza tutte le pubblicazioni del registro di commercio svizzero (FUSC/SHAB) e la stampa economica svizzera, e registra le transazioni che coinvolgono una società svizzera operativa. Questa pagina è la porzione di agosto 2026. Le transazioni sono deduplicate sulla coppia target–acquirente e datate alla pubblicazione o all’annuncio, non alla firma. La copertura del registro è completa per questo mese; quella della stampa è necessariamente selettiva — ed è proprio questo che rende significativo il conteggio « solo a registro ».
