Urma AG has submitted a planning application for a second company site. Like the Rupperswil headquarters, it is located in the canton of Aargau. According to a press release from the company, which specialises in machine tools and additive manufacturing (3D printing), a new Experience Centre is to be built in Mägenwil by summer 2025. The second Swiss headquarters has been developed for 30 employees, who will be relocated from Rupperswil to Mägenwil or newly created, the press release continues. The family business has been operating globally for over 60 years with around 130 employees.
The new Experience Centre, with offices and a spacious exhibition area for CNC machines, 3D printers, post-processing machines and all other machining products, is to be built on the 3,600 square metre site in the “Büntli” industrial and commercial zone in Mägenwil by summer 2025. In the exhibition area, customers will have the opportunity to view a variety of machines and gain a comprehensive insight into additive manufacturing along the entire production chain, according to the company press release.
“The canton of Aargau lies in the heart of Switzerland’s strongest economic region and is located on the main transport axes between the economic centres of Basel, Bern and Zurich. In addition to the good accessibility, it is important to us that the two company headquarters are close to each other – Mägenwil is therefore perfectly suited for URMA,” Urs W. Berner, Chairman of the Board of Directors and CEO of Urma AG, is quoted as saying.
The aim is to create the largest competence centre for industrial 3D printing in Switzerland. The new building will give customers a “unique insight into industrial innovations”, Berner continued.
