  • Pistor may build new logistics facility

    Pistor may build new logistics facility

    The wholesaler Pistor AG is allowed to expand its logistics at its headquarters in Rothenburg. The municipality’s electorate approved the Hasenmoos Süd development plan on 12 March, according to a media release.

    Accordingly, Pistor can now begin with the detailed planning for new storage, goods handling and distribution areas on 31,700 square metres. Three construction phases are planned starting in 2026, and the company estimates that the costs will be in the high double-digit millions.

    Part of the investment will be highly automated logistics solutions. With this, Pistor wants to offer its cooperative members and customers “the most efficient and reliable supply chain on the market”. Pistor mainly supplies bakeries and confectioners, but also catering companies, hospitals and nursing homes with food and goods.

    In the future, Pistor wants to expand its scope of supply to include medical consumables such as hygiene masks and syringes. “The new, planned buildings will also form the basis for this.” The government council of the Canton of Lucerne still has to formally confirm the decision.

    “We thank the people of Rothenburg for the trust they have placed in us,” Patrick Lobsiger, CEO of Pistor, is quoted as saying in the media release. Pistor is an important employer for the region and beyond.

  • Lonza is expanding in Basel

    Lonza is expanding in Basel

    Lonza AG is expanding its operational headquarters in Basel, which has been located on the Lindenhof site since 1962, the cantonal administration of Basel-Stadt informs in a press release . Two more high-rise buildings are to be built in the vicinity of the existing Lonza high-rise building, which is under a preservation order. In addition to commercial and service areas that are required by Lonza, apartments "for different needs" are also planned, according to the statement.

    The extension buildings are intended to “develop the area into a green, mixed-use and publicly accessible district component of the St. Alban district,” writes the canton administration. The edge of the park is to be preserved and planted with more trees. Grounds previously sealed by parking lots and tennis courts will be "upgraded and greened in terms of biodiversity and climate compatibility".

    The plan requirement for the necessary change to a development plan from 1991 that was never implemented can be viewed at the cantonal building and transport department until September 30th. On September 6, Lonza also wants to provide information about the project itself from 6 p.m. in the Hotel Victoria.
