Today was the day! 40 employees from Product Development, Engineering, Laboratory and Maintenance have moved into the new Open Space offices in Schachen. We thank all our supporters and wish all employees a good start & settle into their new workspace.

Discover the modern offices for inspiration, creativity and SIGA innovations now.

We are delighted! The new production hall has been opened and released for production with one first pallet - provided with a little surprise.

The final important planning decisions were also made.The technical installations in the new office building are running at top speed.

Roofs. PV plant. Wooden frontage. Everything is setup. Now, only the PV frontage elements have to be assembled. Work on surroundings should be finished before the onset of winter as well.

The shell of the new innovation centre is now complete, and on September 6 we celebrated that together with an apéro and a midday meal. SIGA CTO Daniel Schmid welcomed the guests, with heartfelt thanks all round to all those who contributed to the work for their great efforts and good cooperation.

Due to the favorable weather conditions the new production hall could be

built up within a short time. This was possible, particularly because of the

close collaboration between timber builders, roofers and window fitters etc.

Thank you very much!

SIGA invites to a joint breakfast. On this occasion Patrick Haacke, CSO, introduces SIGA briefly to the guests. Rafael Hunziker, head of the project site development, thanks the craftsmen for the big effort and for the good cooperation. As a surprise every participant gets a SIGA bag with a tape measure, a cutter, a pen and a role SIGA Rissan. And of course a Ricola can not be missing!
