Swiss location strengthened by sustainable investments
Die traditionsreiche Schweizer Firma 4B setzt mit einer Investition von rund 35 Millionen Franken ein klares Zeichen für die Zukunft des Standorts Hochdorf im Kanton Luzern. Mit neuen Produktionsanlagen und erneuerbarer Energieversorgung rüstet sich das Unternehmen für eine erfolgreiche Weiterentwicklung.
In a groundbreaking decision, 4B, the leading Swiss company for windows and façades, is investing heavily in the Hochdorf site in the canton of Lucerne. This investment of around CHF 35 million marks the beginning of a new era in the production of windows and façades. The focus is not only on modernising the production facilities, but also on a consistent focus on sustainability and future viability.
The commitment to the Swiss economy and the Lucerne region is clearly reflected in this investment. For more than 125 years, 4B has established itself as a company with strong roots in Switzerland. With the expansion of the Hochdorf site, the company is sending a strong signal for further successful years in Switzerland.
The planned investments include the construction of a new machining centre and the erection of four new halls. These measures form the basis for long-term optimisation of the production processes and will enable increased industrialisation of window production. By creating additional production capacity, outsourced parts of the value chain can be brought back to Hochdorf, which helps to strengthen the regional economy.
4B is also paying particular attention to the energy supply at the Hochdorf site. With an investment of around four million Swiss francs in renewable energies, the company will be self-sufficient in electrical energy by mid-2025. By installing photovoltaic systems on the new and existing halls and utilising wood waste from production to generate thermal energy, 4B is demonstrating its commitment to a sustainable energy supply and the responsible use of resources.
The expansion and modernisation of the Hochdorf site underlines 4B’s innovative strength and long-term commitment to the Swiss economy and the Lucerne region.
