Modern logistics construction focuses on efficiency and sustainability
The Dietiker Pestalozzi Group has started the construction of its new logistics center in Pieterlen with a ground-breaking ceremony. Among other things, this is intended to secure the long-term growth of Transstahl AG, which belongs to Pestalozzi.
Transstahl AG, which belongs to Pestalozzi, is to be able to transport long and bulky goods even more efficiently and flexibly throughout Switzerland in future. The Pestalozzi Group is therefore building a new logistics center in Pieterlen, for which the ground-breaking ceremony has now been held, according to a press release. In addition to representatives from Pestalozzi and Transstahl, Beat Rüfli, Mayor of Pieterlen, and Simon Enderli, Head of Location Promotion for the Canton of Bern, as well as other guests also took part in the ceremony.
The logistics center will be 100 meters long, 30 meters wide and 12 meters high. An energy-efficient heating system is planned, as well as a photovoltaic system and charging stations for electric trucks and cars. A large proportion of the materials used come from the Pestalozzi Group, which specializes in steel technology and building services.
“With this ground-breaking ceremony, we are investing in the development of our group of companies and making a clear commitment to Switzerland as a business location and to working in partnership with municipalities and regions,” Matthias Pestalozzi is quoted as saying in the press release. He is the owner and Delegate of the Board of Directors of the Pestalozzi Group.
