Attendees included representatives from the construction companies Stutz and Marti as well as the architects MGH.

Wolffkran Schweiz has been based at its current site - 40 kilometres away - in Dällikon for the past 19 years.

Rolf Mathys said: “We look forward to a new state of the art headquarters from which we will be able to offer our customers in the German-speaking part of Switzerland the best possible crane maintenance and planning services. The new outdoor yard allows for more efficient storage solutions providing even more comfort and planning security for our customers and their construction projects.”
