ABB modernises Untersiggenthal site
ABB hat das neue Multifunktionsgebäude namens Emotion am Standort Untersiggenthal eröffnet. Der Neubau ist mit rund 45 Millionen Franken die grösste Investition seit über zehn Jahren von ABB in der Schweiz.
The technology company ABB has opened a new multifunctional building in Untersiggenthal. According to a press release, there are 500 workstations for employees in the areas of research and development, sales and service, project management and engineering. The Emotion building took two years to construct. At a cost of around 45 million Swiss francs, this is ABB’s largest investment in Switzerland for over ten years. It was built using over 2,200 cubic metres of Zirkulit, a recycled concrete that also stores CO2.
“With this investment, we are strengthening ABB’s presence in Switzerland and investing in high-growth technologies of the future. The new multifunctional building is an important step towards positioning ourselves as an employer of choice and attracting the best talent and experienced workers in an age of skills shortages,” said Nora Teuwsen, CEO of ABB Switzerland.
“The ABB site in Untersiggenthal is an impressive success story of constructive interaction between politics, business, education and research,” said Stephan Attiger, Head of the Department of Construction, Transport and Environment of the Canton of Aargau. The location demonstrates that the high-tech canton of Aargau “offers the best ground for innovation and technological progress, and how regional origins can lead to global success”.
In Untersiggenthal, ABB develops and manufactures efficient and sustainable technology solutions for drive technology in the areas of industrial processes, infrastructure and railways, as well as for applications in the field of renewable energy generation, for customers worldwide.
