Flamatt: Groundbreaking ceremony for new Comet building
On September 13, the groundbreaking ceremony for the Comet Group's expansion building in Flamatt was celebrated. The new building will create around 20,000 square meters of additional production space for the technology company.
Comet is investing 60 million CHF in the project. The project is accompanied by Burckhardt+Partner AG as general planner and architect, and HRS Real Estate AG has been commissioned as general contractor for the realization. Completion of the construction work is scheduled for mid-2018.
"Due to the strong growth in recent years, our company in Flamatt has reached the limits of its production capacity," says Ronald Fehlmann, CEO of the Comet Group at the groundbreaking ceremony. The extension will create urgently needed space for the company's growing X-ray and ebeam business. With the new building, the Flamatter Technology Group is increasing its capacities to a new total of over 37,000 square meters. In the longer term, up to 250 additional employees are to be accommodated there. (ah)
