Oertli Opens New Lean Factory Building in Berneck, Eastern Switzerland

Oertli Instrumente recently celebrated the opening of its new Lean Factory building at its main site in Berneck, Eastern Switzerland. The new Lean Factory covers 11,000 m2 and has the goal of increasing production efficiency and volumes in order to achieve the set growth targets. With an investment of around 30 million Swiss francs, the company said the new building underlines Oertli's commitment to a sustainable future and its clear commitment to Swiss precision quality.

The ground floor houses a new clean room for the production of sterile products, as well as a fully automated warehouse management system. The first floor houses parts production with several CNC machines, additional production rooms and office space, while the second floor is home to the Oertli Square— a light-flooded multifunctional space that serves employees, partners and customers as an inspiring meeting and experience place, as well as a venue for wetlabs and training courses.

Currently, around 300 employees work at the Berneck site. In addition to its headquarters in Berneck, Oertli Instrumente AG holds five subsidiaries in Switzerland, Germany, Austria, South Africa, and the US.
