According to a press release , Allreal has started construction work on Rieter ‘s new campus in Winterthur. The real estate company from Opfikon is responsible for the project as general contractor. She works with the BDE Architects from Winterthur, among others.
Rieter is investing around 80 million francs in its new campus. This is to include a customer and technology center and an administration building on an area of 30,000 square meters. The textile machine manufacturer will be able to employ around 700 people there from 2024.
Rieter relies on renewable energies for the new campus. The heat is to be generated with geothermal probes, for example. In addition, a 1300 square meter photovoltaic system will be installed. According to Allreal, the project is “very complex, especially with regard to the building services”. In product and technology development, different climate zones are required that can be set differently.
