Renggli AG realises Germany’s largest wood module plant
Renggli Deutschland GmbH is a joint venture of the four shareholders Renggli AG, Saxovent Smart Eco Investments GmbH, Sächsische Ärzteversorgung (SAEV) and MQ Real Estate GmbH. Renggli AG is involved as a know-how and competence provider. The new plant is being built in Eberswalde (state of Brandenburg), around 40 kilometres from the Berlin city limits. The purchase agreement for the site of the production facility was signed in February 2022. Construction will start in the third quarter of 2022, with completion scheduled for the end of 2023. From 2024, the modern plant will produce timber modules for sustainable and climate-friendly multi-storey buildings on a production area of around 20,000 square metres.
The potential for serially and industrially produced timber modular construction in the greater Berlin area is great. In modular construction, entire room units are prefabricated in the production plant and assembled on the building site. Today, modular buildings meet all the requirements of modern and sustainable real estate and offer a solution for the realisation of attractive, affordable and climate-friendly living space. According to Samuel Renggli, “We want to meet the great demand for timber construction capacities in the Berlin/Brandenburg area in line with demand and thus make a significant contribution to resource-friendly and climate-neutral construction. With the performance of this modern production plant, we meet the high demands on quality, efficiency and reliability.”
Market development in Germany – further development in Switzerland
The investment is based on the long-term business plan of Renggli AG and is the consistent strategic further development of the activities in Germany. The commitment in Germany will not affect the activities in Switzerland. Parallel to the development in Germany, Renggli AG will continue to strengthen its market position in Switzerland as planned and invest in the digitalisation and further development of the company. At the production plant in Schötz (LU), Renggli AG will continue to realise industrially manufactured, high-quality and climate-friendly buildings in prefabricated and modular construction. It thus meets the demand from Switzerland for architecturally sophisticated, multi-storey timber buildings for residential developments, office and commercial buildings or kindergartens and schools.
