Häuselmann Metall moves to the Zurich Unterland
Häuselmann Metall GmbH has relocated its headquarters from Dietlikon ZH to Embrach. According to the company, the most important independent metal trader in Switzerland invested 16 million francs in its new location.
Häuselmann Metall GmbH has officially opened its new headquarters in Embrach. The metal trader, which had existed since 1947, moved with its 60 employees from Dietlikon to the Zürcher Unterland in May. At the new location, he has built a new production hall and warehouse as well as offices for sales, administration and ordering on an area of 10,000 square meters. The company invested 16 million francs in this.
"The cooperation with the community is sensational", CEO Franz Thür is quoted in a message from the Zürcher Unterland location. Embrach had made the land available to him under construction law. In return, the company created new jobs. On the occasion of a tour of the grounds, Embach mayor Erhard Büchi expressed his admiration for the ultra-modern new company location and congratulated Thür on his entrepreneurial courage.
Thür also sees the new building as “a good opportunity to improve the culture”. All employees have moved with them, but "resentment can still be felt here and there, for example because of the now somewhat longer commute". A cafeteria and a roof terrace with a grill and seating should also contribute to a pleasant working atmosphere.
