  • The Swisscanto Collective Foundation and Supra Collective Foundation return to the name Servisa

    The Swisscanto Collective Foundation and Supra Collective Foundation return to the name Servisa

    The existing contracts and their benefits will continue unchanged under the new, original name. Neither for the insured persons, nor for the affiliated companies, nor for the partners of the Servisa collective foundations is there any need for action due to the change of name. There will also be no changes to the strategic orientation of the pension fund and the persons responsible. The boards of trustees of the two Servisa foundations remain independent and continue to pursue the existing long-term foundation strategies. The management and contact persons at Servisa also remain the same. The cantonal banks also remain important partners of Servisa.

    Other foundations and companies operating under the “Swisscanto” brand are not affected by the change of name. These are namely the Swisscanto Vested Benefits Foundation, the Swisscanto Investment Foundations, the Swisscanto Flex Collective Foundation, the Swisscanto 1e Collective Foundation and the Swisscanto Holding Ltd. of the Zurich Cantonal Bank.

    The return to the original name of the Servisa Foundations will be completed on 19 June 2023. It will take place in close coordination with Zürcher Kantonalbank as the owner of the “Swisscanto” brand, which has been used jointly up to now.

  • Zurich's Manufakt8048 business park is open

    Zurich's Manufakt8048 business park is open

    The Manufakt8048 business park has been completed. On Thursday, the building owner Swisscanto , the developer and general contractor Steiner AG , architects, project partners and future tenants celebrated the opening of the new modular building complex in Zurich-Altstetten. In a media release , Steiner AG also announced that in the coming years, with Manufakt8820 and Manufakt8409, two more industrial parks will be built in Wädenswil ZH and Winterthur based on the same concept.

    Steiner AG describes its special manufacturing concept as sustainable and multidimensional. It offers shared meeting rooms that can be used as required, as well as so-called flex offices and meeting areas. In order to make commercial rents affordable, especially for young companies, Steiner AG has improved space efficiency with areas that can be used jointly, for example. This can be "implemented well in reception areas, meeting rooms or lounges", says her Head Real Estate, Michael Schiltknecht. This is particularly interesting for start-ups, "who don't have to rent everything right away".

    As it is said, the Manufakt8048 commercial property benefits from the attractive environment in the “up-and-coming urban quarter” in the west of Zurich in the immediate vicinity of the Zurich-Altstetten train station. It thus offers "ideal conditions for companies from a wide variety of industries".
