Schröckel AG was a Swiss painting and renovation company based in Winterthur, active in the Malergewerbe (painting trade) sector. The firm operated as a family business for roughly a century before being acquired in 2016 by the Zurich-based Max Schweizer AG, which retained the Schröckel name. The company was later deleted from the commercial register in 2022. [1] [2]
Design and History
Schröckel AG was founded as a family-run painting business in Winterthur, celebrating its 100th anniversary around 2014. The company operated from Mühlebrückestrasse 24, offering services including painting, plastering, wallpapering, insulation, and color design. [1] [3]
In March 2016, the Winterthur-based Schröckel AG was acquired by Max Schweizer AG from Schwamendingen, a company with over 125 years in the painting trade employing around 200 people across multiple locations in the canton. The Schröckel name was kept after the acquisition, though the previous owner, Christian Schröckel, stepped down. [1]
The company was formally deleted from the Swiss commercial register in 2022. [4]
Meaning and Symbolism
No official documentation has been found that describes the design, symbolism, or meaning of the Schröckel logo. The company’s website, which was still active as of 2023, presented the firm under the tagline “malen, gipsen, umbauen und renovieren” (painting, plastering, converting, and renovating), but no visual identity details or design rationale have been preserved in accessible sources.
