Kässbohrer Schweiz AG Celebrates The Groundbreaking For Its New Head Office
Kässbohrer Schweiz AG celebrates the groundbreaking for its new head office in Altdorf. With this new building Kässbohrer Schweiz AG is creating the optimal conditions to ensure it remains the leading supplier in snow groomer service and sales in the future.
Closer to the customer in Altdorf
Kässbohrer Schweiz AG is an independent subsidiary of Kässbohrer Geländefahrzeug AG, which has its head office in Laupheim, Germany. Möriken has been the headquarters of the Swiss subsidiary for 18 years. The staff for management, sales, administration, technical customer service, and the instructors are now moving almost entirely to Altdorf – with the big advantage of being closer to most of the ski resorts. The new location makes it possible to reach 70 % of all customers in a maximum travel time of 2.5 hours.
More space in all areas
The offices, storage, workshop and training rooms cover four floors. A lot of thought went into optimising all operational areas when the new building was being designed. The structures, communication areas and organisational workflows were revised at the same time, to maintain the company’s successful position in the Swiss market in the future. Completion is planned for autumn 2019 in time for the start of the 2019/20 winter season.
