    New competence centre strengthens logistics and flooring solutions in Oberhasli

    SHARKGROUP AG, a specialist in flooring solutions from Oberhasli, is moving into its new centre of excellence in Oberhasli together with Dietiker Planzer Transport AG. As Planzer reports in a LinkedIn post, the two companies will now be pooling their expertise under one roof. While Planzer will take over SHARKGROUP’s logistics on the 4000 square metres of warehouse space, SHARKGROUP will be able to use the new location to drive its growth and further expand its range of services.

    The competence centre covers an area of 10,000 square metres and has a 3,000 square metre solar installation on its roof. It also enables companies to travel short distances and reduce CO2 emissions during transport, which is a step towards sustainable logistics.

    As SHARKGROUP explains in a press release, the new site will enable the company to further strengthen its presence in the Zurich region and improve the availability of its product range. In addition, the expanded capacity and exhibition space will create more room for personalised support and services. “We are proud of the growth of our group and of being able to offer our customers even greater proximity and service in future,” says Managing Director Moritz Mühlebach, CEO of SHARKGROUP. “This project is an expression of our entrepreneurial vision and our ambition to play an active role in shaping the industry.”

    In-house Livit Academy celebrates its 15th anniversary

    Since its foundation in 2007, the academy has repeatedly taken innovative paths and has developed from offering a once compact course program to today's industry-wide known competence center. It is an expression of Livit's strategic orientation of investing heavily in its employees and supporting them in achieving their goals – the credo to this day.

    For the practice of most professional groups, different skills are required today than 15 years ago. The (working) world is becoming more and more digital, the flow of information is faster and job profiles are changing. Livit recognized the opportunities offered by new technologies and has become more and more modern in recent years. The Livit Academy developed accordingly and acted as a sparring partner in change management. In an accompanying function, she supports employees in remaining professionally qualified and in being able to develop culturally with the organization and strategic orientation.

    Prepared for the future
    The complexity will continue to increase and the specialization of the job profiles will affect the professional requirements and the need for training and further education, says Judith Engel, head of the Livit Academy. This also means that cooperation is becoming increasingly important in order to achieve more together. The Livit Academy recently initiated a cooperation with the SVIT, the HWZ and Wincasa and jointly developed further training in the field of real estate accounting, which will start in March 2022 for the first time. The future is all about cooperation: Livit is also intensifying this with Swiss Life Asset Managers – with the launch of the “AM Academy”, of which the Livit Academy is a part. Together with the parent company, Livit is expanding its know-how in the national and international real estate market, using synergies and promoting networking.
