Stadler held the ground-breaking ceremony for its new plant in St. Margrethen, in Switzerland’s canton of St. Gallen, transferring its centre of expertise for double-decker multiple units from Altenrhein to St. Margrethen. CHF 86 million (EUR 73.9 million) is the planned investment at the new production site, which is designed to optimise production conditions and to strengthen company’s competitive abilities.
Construction work is being carried out by HRS AG and will last until early 2020, although the company will be able to move into the first halls at the end of 2019.
The plot of land measures approximately 65,000 square metres and already has a rail connection, making it perfect for its new purpose. Stadler plans to build a production and warehousing facility covering 35,000 square metres along with 5,000 square metres of air-conditioned office space and meeting rooms.
The new plant will ensure process optimisation and result in increased efficiency thanks to optimal production possibilities. The transfer offers the added benefits of a modern staff canteen and excellent public and private transport connections.
