(CONNECT) BRUGG Lifting, part of the BRUGG Group from Brugg in the Swiss canton of Aargau, is tackling the second phase of its Industrial Park 2025 at its site in Birr, also in the canton of Aargau. The symbolic foundation stone for the new production hall 6 has now been laid in the presence of guests from local politics, economy, and media at a ground-breaking ceremony. CEO Markus Grüter commented in a press release: “With this project, we are sending a strong signal of our innovative strength and our commitment to the region.”
Production hall 6 will be equipped with two automated small parts racks and will also serve as a logistics center. Furthermore, three loading ramps will be integrated into it. The investment sum is 9.5 million Swiss francs. The construction work is anticipated to be finished in February 2026.
In the first step, the new belt cover system (the production machine for BRUbelt elevator system flat belts) was put into operation at the existing production hall. The cost of this amounted to 3.5 million Swiss francs. A new sliding rack was built at the same time to support production, which provides storage space for more than 1600 palettes of finished products, raw materials, and semi-finished products. The lightweight hall and mobile racking system were put into operation on December 6, 2024.
“The new production hall enables the new belt casing system to be optimally integrated and creates an efficient flow of goods with a modern logistics concept", Grüter says. "In addition, the maintenance area will be modernised to better integrate our apprentices.” ce/mm
