(March 29, 2022) Baumer remains on course for growth. The Group of Companies specialized in smart sensor solutions is currently building a new, modern R&D center at the headquarter in Frauenfeld (Switzerland). Following the High-Tech Center in the city of Stockach in Southern Germany (opening in 2018), the new building is now the second major investment in the Lake Constance area within few years.

Frauenfeld scores with location strength

Dr. Oliver Vietze, CEO of the Baumer Group, is looking forward to the new building which will provide the expanding high-tech company with another 5000 square meters as ultra-modern work and office space. "The new building will enable us to expand our development capacities at the headquarters in order to strengthen our position as an innovation driver," explains the CEO. For decades, Baumer has been benefiting from the headquarter optimally located between the renowned ETH of Zurich, the University of Excellence in the city of Constance and other reputed universities of science in the east of Switzerland. "Now we are expanding this location further," Vietze said. The teams are scheduled to move in here in late summer 2023. 
 
Energy-efficient building with energy facade and use of geothermal energy

Vietze attaches great importance to the energy concept being a further step towards CO2 neutrality. "The Innovation Center is intended as a showcase project, particularly in terms of sustainability and energy efficiency," Vietze explained. The sophisticated solar façade around the building will generate electricity. Ground probes with heat pump will heat the Baumer indoor spaces in winter and cool them in summer. As a further contribution within the "Baumer Blue" sustainability initiative, Baumer is going to use only CO2-neutral electricity from Swiss hydropower, thus ensuring clean energy supply of the Frauenfeld location in parallel.

From groundbreaking to completion
