Façade Access Solutions and 2High join forces to deliver integrated façade maintenance in Italy

Milan, Italy — Façade Access Solutions (FAS), part of Alimak Group, has announced a new partnership with 2High Srl, a Bologna-based specialist in building-envelope maintenance that has been part of Schüco International Italia since 2024. The agreement will give building owners, façade contractors, and operators across Italy a single, coordinated partner for the entire life of a façade.

Two specialisms, one lifecycle offering

FAS is a global leader in permanently installed building maintenance units (BMUs) and façade access systems, engineered for safe, reliable use on the world’s most demanding building envelopes. 2High brings deep expertise in the work that follows: preventive maintenance, periodic inspections, fall-protection systems, and confined-space interventions on complex façades, high-rise buildings, and industrial structures.

Together, the two companies will offer an end-to-end service — from access system supply and installation through to ongoing maintenance and after-sales support. For the Italian market, that means fewer interfaces, clearer accountability, and a stronger value proposition over the full lifecycle of the asset.

Voices from both sides of the partnership

“This partnership is a clear step forward in how we support our customers across the full lifecycle of their façade assets. By combining our expertise in safe and reliable access systems with 2High’s strong capabilities in maintenance, we create a more integrated and efficient solution for building owners and operators. Together, we are strengthening our commitment to safety, performance, and sustainability, while bringing greater simplicity and value to our customers in Italy,” said Herve Ros, Executive Vice President, Façade Access Solutions.

“The union with a global leader such as Façade Access Solutions represents a key milestone in our growth strategy. As part of Schüco International Italia, 2High Srl confirms its position as the benchmark in Italy for specialist building envelope maintenance: from façades and roofing systems to windows and doors.

This partnership allows us to combine our deep technical expertise in after-sales management and complex interventions with the world’s most advanced access technologies. The fact that FAS has chosen us as a partner demonstrates the strength of our professionalism and enables us to offer our clients a complete service, ensuring maximum safety and consistent performance for every building component,” said Stefano Guerzoni, General Manager, 2High Srl.

A shared focus on safety, efficiency, and long-term performance

The collaboration reflects values that sit at the core of both organisations: safety, operational efficiency, and the long-term performance of the building envelope. By bringing together FAS’s permanent access solutions, 2High’s specialist maintenance services, and Schüco’s leading aluminium façade systems, customers in Italy can rely on a single, coordinated partner across the full life of their façade.
