Optisol inaugurates new company headquarters
Optisol, a company of the Migros subsidiary Micarna, has inaugurated its new headquarters in the municipality of Vétroz. With the new building for the fertilizer producing company, the largest wooden structure in Valais has been created.
Optisol has created the largest wooden structure in Valais and recently inaugurated it. The new building of the company headquarters for the company of the Migros subsidiary Micarna had become necessary because the manufacturer of high-quality organic and organic-mineral fertilizers had to relocate from the floodplain of the Rhone correction. According to a media release , the building at the new location in Vétroz reflects Migros’ strong commitment to sustainability.
Its facade is made of Valais larch wood. The latest technologies are designed to clean the air from dust, odors and ammonia, among other things, before it is released into the atmosphere. In this way, the standards of the Clean Air Act would be met. The dryer for the litter from the poultry farming is supplied by the wood-fired thermal power station installed on the neighboring property. This district heating system also reduces CO2 emissions.
In addition, Micarna leases the roof area to the Oiken Group. She will operate a photovoltaic system there. Nests for swifts and falcons have been built under the roof.
