  • 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.

  • The old spinning mill in Turgi becomes a commercial and industrial center

    The old spinning mill in Turgi becomes a commercial and industrial center

    Limmatkraftwerke AG wants to turn the listed old cotton mill in the center of Turgi into a modern commercial complex by leasing 7000 square meters of space for offices, studios, production or storage in the central and western parts of the building. The premises can be rented from April 1st. In a media release from the owner Limmatkraftwerke AG, a subsidiary of Regionalwerke AG Baden , it is said that the tenants could design and expand the rooms according to their needs, as far as this is possible on site.

    "We would like to see a lively and inspiring mix of various commercial and industrial sectors in the Turgi spinning mill," said Martin Schoop, Chairman of the Board of Directors, who lives in Turgi himself. He wants to promote the character of a modern economic center in Turgi by transferring part of the income for the promotion of Turgi. Schoop: "Part of the rent is used to feed a fund that is supposed to promote this sense of community."

    The spinning mill, which was built in 1826 and was the largest spinning company in Switzerland until 1858, is located in the center of Turgi and is easily accessible. According to the announcement, there are enough parking spaces available and the spinning mill is within walking distance of Turgi train station.

    The redesign also pays attention to sustainability. two parking spaces are to be equipped with charging stations for electric vehicles. The building is to be supplied with district heating from the KVA Turgi and in future it will again draw electricity from the neighboring hydropower plant operated by Limmatkraftwerke AG.

    Limmatkraftwerke AG see the purchase as a strategic decision. Schoop: “We operate one of our power plants right next to the spinning mill building. Thanks to the purchase of the spinning mill, we can also ensure the operation of this power plant in the long term. ”As the owner, the use of the building can be optimally coordinated with the operation of the power plant.
