As part of HUBER + SUHNER's long-term strategic focus on the Pfäffikon location, a large part of its industrial activities are already being carried out in the Witzberg industrial area, where the modern blending plant, which opened in 2011, and the central distribution warehouse, opened in 2014, are located on the company's own premises together with the fully utilized cable plant.
With the planned expansion at the Witzberg plant, the production capabilities still located in Dorf will be relocated and integrated to the industrial area. The headquarters, with its core functions, will remain at its current location at Tumbelenstrasse 20.
Planning and implementation will take approximately two and a half years. The entire expansion investment at Witzberg is scheduled to be operational by 2021.
The basis for this investment is the strong demand for high-tech solutions in the rail market and the automotive industry in the field of electric mobility. Both markets offer the company significant potential for differentiation. As a result, HUBER + SUHNER expects a further increase in the competitiveness of these solutions.
The Tumbelen Nord site, approximately 24,500 m2, which will be available after the relocation of production capabilities, will be allocated to a new use.
