  • Pistor’s growth requires larger buildings

    Pistor’s growth requires larger buildings

    Pistor has expanded the WUZ West goods handling centre in Rothenburg. According to a press release, the investment for the fully automated replenishment warehouse amounts to CHF 34 million. The building now has space for 22,000 pallets, 7,000 more than before.

    According to Pistor, a solar system on the roof will supply enough electricity to power 66 households each year. “We have also installed a large underground storage system that allows us to heat the site with our own summer waste heat in winter and minimise CO2 emissions,” says business performance member and logistics manager Richard Betschart. Pistor is also reportedly expanding the number of electric lorries.

    With the expansion measures, the catering wholesaler and service provider is reportedly responding to the continuously increasing demand. In addition to its core business of supplying bakeries and patisseries, the company also supplies catering and healthcare businesses such as hospitals and retirement homes.

    However, Pistor says that the big leap is still to come: the company is planning new office, warehouse, goods handling and distribution space at its headquarters in Rothenburg, covering an area the size of four football pitches, by 2030. In addition, the ground-breaking ceremony for a distribution centre in Sennwald SG will take place this year. The aim is to supply eastern Switzerland even better from this centre.

    Dormakaba supplies Hörmann with CO2-neutral products

    The companies dormakaba in Rümlang and Hörmann in Steinhagen, Germany, have agreed to cooperate in the area of sustainability. According to a media release, Hörmann will purchase CO2-neutral products from dormakaba Germany from 1 June 2023. This measure is an important step in the climate protection commitment of the door and gate manufacturer Hörmann, it continues.

    The company Hörmann wants to strengthen its climate protection commitment, it says in the press release. The company is aware that emissions in the upstream or downstream supply chain are the most difficult to influence. However, this area, known as Scope 3, accounts for the largest share of all emissions. For this reason, Hörmann also wants to include suppliers and partners in its climate protection commitment. In dormakaba, Hörmann has found a partner who is considered a pioneer in sustainability in the industry.

    “With this step, we at dormakaba are sending a clear signal of how important the topic of sustainability is to us and are taking responsibility as a company,” Michael Hensel, Managing Director of dormakaba Deutschland GmbH in Ennepetal, is quoted as saying.

    “Our long-standing partner dormakaba is already known as a pioneer in the industry in the field of sustainability and climate protection,” Martin J. Hörmann, personally liable partner of the Hörmann Group, is quoted as saying. “Its achievements there have been recognised by leading bodies. We are therefore pleased that dormakaba will be supplying all products with an environmental product declaration in a CO2-neutral manner from 01.06.2023.”
