Implenia was created out of a series of mergers between Swiss regional construction companies, but ultimately from the 2006 merger of Batigroup and Zschokke Holding. In mid-1997 Preiswerk Holding AG merged with Schweizerische Strassenbau- und Tiefbau-Unternehmung AG (Stuag) / Stuag Holding AG and Schmalz AG Bauunternehmung / Schmalz Holding AG to form Batigroup Holding based in Basel. Batigroup's core competencies centered on traditional construction activities, including road construction, poured asphalt, civil engineering, tunnel construction and building construction. The basis of Zschokke Holding was the construction company Castor, Hersent et Zschokke, founded in 1872 in Aarau by Conrad Zschokke (1842-1918), which was transferred to the public limited company Conrad Zschokke in 1909. Through acquisitions and mergers, in 1982 the joint-stock company Heinr. Hatt-Haller and in 1997 Locher & Cie AG, among others, became part of Zschokke Holding, whose headquarters were most recently in Geneva. In addition to building construction, Zschokke acquired in particular general planning, general contracting and real estate management. Due to the largely complementary business areas, Zschokke and Batigroup began talks about a possible merger in summer 2005. Following these discussions, the intention to merge to form Implenia was announced publicly on 15 November 2005. Finally, the shareholders of Zschokke and Batigroup approved the merger at simultaneous AGMs held on 2 March 2006. ZB Didumos AG, founded as a placeholder company for the future company, was renamed Implenia AG in the course of the merger in 2005. The headquarters of the new company became Zurich.
