Innovation and growth at the new head office
Erowa AG: INNOVATION AND GROWTH AT THE NEW HEADQUARTER
Erowa AG was founded in 1970 and is now active worldwide. The company develops, produces and sells state-of-the-art manufacturing technologies for tool and mould making as well as production and precision mechanics. Erowa is now one of the world's leading companies in the field of clamping technology and automation. The company currently employs around 550 people at several international locations. These are spread across America, Europe, Africa, Asia and Australia.
New headquarter in Büron
Erowa was originally based in Reinach, but decided to expand the Büron site to become its new headquarters. This was chosen due to its proximity to Sursee with direct motorway access and good rail connections. The opportunity arose to construct a new production building on the former Superba site. The ground-breaking ceremony took place in spring 2022.
A state-of-the-art production building
With an investment of around 25 million Swiss francs, a state-of-the-art, three-storey building with a total area of 13,000 square metres was built on an area of 11,500 square metres. The construction, which is 80 metres long and 50 metres wide, also includes a high-bay warehouse. Due to the unstable subsoil, 30 metre-long piles were used - 180 in total, which are also equipped with probes for energy generation to cover around 80 percent of the energy requirements.
Modern façade design with Montana Building Systems AG
Profiles from Montana Building Systems Ltd were used for the façade design, which were expertly mounted on a wooden substructure by Sasol AG. To achieve a special look, trapezoidal and corrugated profiles were attached vertically and alternately. The colour RAL 9007 was chosen for the profiles:
- SWISS PANEL® SP 26/143
- SWISS PANEL® SP 27/111
- SWISS PANEL® SP 40/183
- SWISS PANEL® SP 42/160
A pioneering step for Erowa
With this new building in Büron, Erowa AG is creating the basis for further growth. The new company headquarters not only serves to expand capacity, but also strengthens the company's innovative power.
