Expansion of the production site in Oberriet
Steel system supplier Jansen is investing several million Swiss francs in the expansion of its production site in Oberriet. New production halls and a modern coating facility will increase capacity and strengthen competitiveness. The logistics area is also being comprehensively modernized.
Jansen, the steel systems supplier based in the St.GallenBodenseeArea, is planning to significantly expand the production site at its headquarters in Oberriet. According to the company, several million Swiss francs are to be invested in this. According to Jansen, this investment is a “clear commitment to the Oberriet site”. It is also intended to strengthen the company’s competitiveness.
Jansen is planning to expand and rebuild several production halls in which window, door and façade elements will be manufactured. Their production had previously been carried out in the buildings of the acquired Rino Weder AG, but these have now become too small. Jansen will give up the former Rino Weder site in 2026. Instead, “ideal and state-of-the-art production conditions will be created” in the company’s own buildings.
In addition, work will begin in mid-2025 on the installation of a modern powder coating facility, which is scheduled to go into operation in early 2026. This new production facility will replace the previous Rino Weder AG site. It is expected that the new facility will be able to coat up to 1600 square meters of surface every day. In addition to coating its own products, Jansen will also offer contract coating for external orders.
In addition to the expansion of the production facilities, Jansen also intends to expand the company’s logistics area, according to the press release. In this context, the company plans to set up a pallet and small parts center with modern conveyor technology, self-propelled transport systems and modern workstations.
