About Halden
Founded in Zurich in 1986. 12,400 people in 38 countries, one job: keep plants running safely, efficiently and securely for their whole working life.
Halden Systems was founded in Zurich in 1986 by two control engineers who believed a plant should be able to call the people who built its systems for as long as those systems ran. Nearly forty years later that is still the business model: build it well, then stay.
