Burkhalter: The OMSP1’s New Main Fuse
25 Jun 2026
Burkhalter is joining the OMSP1 for the first time this month, replacing dormakaba. The company is Switzerland’s largest electrical engineering and building technology group, with 83 subsidiaries across 169 locations. It is not a high-growth story. It is a compounding story, built on decades of small acquisitions, a near-zero debt balance sheet, and structural demand from Switzerland’s energy transition.

A global leader in fluid engineering since 1834, Sulzer’s pumps, separation systems, and carbon capture technology sit at the heart of the energy transition and global water infrastructure. After being removed from the index in September 2025, three years of consistent margin expansion have brought its Obermatt 360° View back up to 88, driven by a record EBITDA margin of 15.6% in 2025 and a management team that keeps raising the bar.
