Challenge

In 2006, Layher set its sights on expanding its presence in North America. Despite being a dominant force in Europe, the company faced significant hurdles in establishing itself as the premier scaffolding provider in the U.S. and Canada.

Key Challenges:

  • Outdated Digital Presence: Layher’s website lacked functionality, mobile responsiveness, and a modern user experience, limiting engagement with a growing digital audience.
  • Limited Brand Awareness: Despite its industry leadership in Europe, Layher struggled to establish strong recognition in the competitive North American market.
  • SEO Deficiency: Without a robust SEO strategy, the company ranked poorly on search engine results pages (SERPs), reducing visibility and organic traffic.
  • Fragmented Advertising Strategy: A lack of a targeted marketing approach made it difficult to effectively reach large construction firms and independent scaffold builders.
  • Messaging Alignment: Layher recognized that its European brand messaging and advertising approach did not fully resonate with the North American audience and needed refinement to ensure clarity, relevance, and market impact.

To address these challenges, Layher partnered with TruBrand Marketing to implement a comprehensive strategy. Over 17 years, we transformed their online presence, optimized their SEO, and launched strategic advertising initiatives across the U.S. and Canada, positioning Layher as a leading scaffolding provider in North America.

Results

Since the launch of Layher North America’s new website in 2006, it attracted over 100,000 visitors in its first year, with nearly 60% of traffic coming from organic search. Over time, the North American site has consistently ranked higher than all 38 other Layher branches, including its headquarters in Germany. To further refine brand messaging and strengthen market positioning, we have continuously tailored marketing efforts to resonate with the North American audience.

In 2022, we relaunched a newly developed website for the North American division, followed by the 2024 launch of Layher Canada’s bilingual website, designed with English as the primary language and Canadian French as the secondary.

Through close collaboration with Layher’s sales team and the strategic implementation of TruBrand Marketing initiatives, the results have been outstanding:

  • Revenue has doubled twice in the past five years.
  • National expansion, including new sales offices and yard locations, has strengthened Layher’s presence across the U.S. and Canada.
  • In 2023, Layher expanded its workforce from 49 to 70 employees, added three new branches in the U.S. and Canada, and secured multiple high-profile industrial accounts.
  • All major industrial customers have experienced growth, further solidifying Layher’s role as the industry’s leading scaffolding provider.

Layher North America’s leadership is thrilled with these outcomes and has committed to an even more ambitious goal: doubling revenue again within the next five years. This continued partnership underscores the trust Layher places in our branding and marketing strategies, and we remain dedicated to driving exceptional growth.

As we move forward, our collaboration will be instrumental in surpassing this new revenue target, ensuring Layher North America’s sustained success and industry leadership.
