ComatReleco celebrated its 50th anniversary in 2020 at our historic site in Worb at the height of the pandemic. Today, we are proud to announce that, in order to meet current and future challenges, we are constructing a new building in the municipality of Düdingen/Guin (canton of Fribourg). ComatReleco will move completely to the new company site in Düdingen in the second quarter of 2023. The new site will offer a modern logistics area to optimise the entire incoming goods, storage and shipping process and to be able to respond even better to your delivery time requirements. The area for the development of new products will be doubled and will include laboratories for all types of product tests. Employees will have access to modern workstations with creative exchange zones. There will also be space for customer training. In terms of energy consumption, the building is designed according to the Minergie-P standard. The building will be heated with geothermal probes and equipped with solar panels. We are thinking about future generations.
Geographically, the site is located on the Fribourg-Berne axis, at the crossroads between German-speaking Switzerland and French-speaking Switzerland and a reasonable distance from the Worb site. We intend to relocate all our employees to the new site and offer an attractive geographical location for employees from both sides of the Saane. Being just one minute from the motorway exit and a 10 minute walk from the train station will also make access for visitors much easier and we look forward to welcoming you to our new premises.
Today's world is full of uncertainties. Nevertheless, we must look forward and continue to grow our business, just as you and we have done during the pandemic. Having a workplace where you can thrive, share, develop and have the satisfaction of a job well done will help us to innovate and prepare for the future. I hope you enjoy reading.
