    Kuratle Group and Raurica Wald build timber factory in Aargau

    A sustainable production facility for wood processing is to be built on the former premises of the CPH Group in Full-Reuenthal, the Lucerne-based chemical and paper holding company informs in a statement. It has sold a plot of land on the site, which it used until 2002, to Full Property AG. The company is owned by the wood-processing Kuratle Group from Leibstadt AG and the Basel-based Raurica Wald AG, which specialises in investments in the forestry and timber industry.

    The new plant will process local roundwood into construction timber using energy from renewable sources. Until now, such timber construction materials have been imported, the statement said. “We are pleased that innovative companies that contribute to climate protection with a sustainable business concept are operating on our former company site,” Peter Schildknecht, CEO of the CPH Group, is quoted there. Several companies, including two recycling firms, have already set up shop on the former CPH production site, which covers an area of around 30 football pitches.

  • Papieri Biberist – The quarter of tomorrow is created today

    Papieri Biberist – The quarter of tomorrow is created today

    In mid-2012, Hiag acquired the premises of the former paper mill in Biberist. The area with around 277,000 m² of industrial space was used for paper production for a good 150 years. Accordingly, it is very well anchored as an industrial location in the region and is considered a development area of cantonal importance. The area is strategically located along the A1 and A5, between the metropolitan areas of Zurich, Basel and Bassin lémanique. Within the Solothurn industrial cluster, the Papieri area benefits from the networking with numerous companies and research institutions as well as a unique, high-performance infrastructure on the area. In addition to the largely commercial-industrial use, places are to be created on the area where work, culture and leisure uses as well as living can be found.

    The Papieri area is ideally located and should become a destination in the suburban country.

    Revitalization of the area
    In cooperation with the municipality and the canton, work is being carried out on the transition to a binding sub-zone plan: "The sub-zone plan is currently being revised, which will encompass the entire area perimeter," says the responsible site developer Michele Muccioli to Immo! Nvest. “We expect 12 to 18 months before the zoning plan becomes legally binding. After three complete lines of paper machines have been sold in the past few years, the remaining lines are currently being sold. In addition, the settlement and provision of usable space will continue to be promoted. " Around 20 companies are currently located on the site, and around 120 people have their workplaces on the paper. Companies from a wide variety of areas are located here. The next step is the partial opening of the area in the area of the Biberist Ost train station. The aim is to activate and revitalize the area. According to Muccioli, this is now possible because the sales and dismantling of the large machines have now been completed.
