Growing for the future

The new production hall “Kristall” of HP Gasser AG will be 47 meters long, 34 meters wide and 20 meters high. The groundbreaking ceremony directly next to the company headquarters in Lungern has just taken place, and the first roof window elements are to be produced in the hall as early as August. “We have grown strongly over the past three to four years and have now reached our limits,” explains Managing Director Markus Fuhrer. The centerpiece in the production hall, which is flooded with daylight, is a modern crane system that replaces all lift trucks. Logistics are handled through the air so that the space can be used mainly for production. The new hall not only provides space for modern and contemporary workplaces, but also stands out for its optimal integration with the existing buildings. And how could it be otherwise: The wooden construction is enclosed by the in-house membrane facade.
