CHF 20 Million Facility

The project entailed the construction of a new production facility as an addition to the existing Leister AG building located at Galileo-Strasse 10, 6056 Kägiswil, Switzerland. The build volume covered 50,600 m² across seven upper floors. The construction began in January 2018 and was completed by February 2019. The project's value was assessed at CHF 20 million, equivalent to EUR 17.7 million, GBP 15.6 million, NOK 172 million, SEK 184 million, and USD 20.3 million based on average yearly exchange rates during the project.

Complex Construction Amid Operations

The construction was carried out during ongoing operations, which required meticulous planning to minimize disruptions to Leister AG's daily activities. Additionally, the project involved special civil engineering works due to difficult ground conditions at the site, presenting challenges that demanded expertise and precision from the engineering team.

Focus on Sustainability

Sustainability was a key focus for the project, with efforts to meet Minergie standards although formal certification was not sought. This aspect highlighted the project's commitment to environmental responsibility. Mozzatti Schlumpf Architekten AG from Baar served as the architect, while planning was managed by Emch + Berger WSB AG from Sarnen.
