DT Swiss continues to grow

The Swiss high-tech component specialist "DT Swiss" is continuing to expand and has started work on another new building this week. Over the next 18 months, a two-storey production and logistics building and a four-storey administration wing will be erected at the existing production site in Längfeld in Biel. The investment volume amounts to 30 million francs.

DT Swiss is spread over three locations in Biel and wants to achieve a concentration with the new buildings. To this end, the original premises must be vacated by 2010 because the site directly at the foot of the Taubenloch gorge is to be converted.

The Biel-based company was able to increase its turnover to 95 million Swiss francs last year, doubling it within the last 24 months. DT Swiss currently employs 320 people, 200 of whom work at the Biel site, and operates additional production facilities in Taiwan, Poland and the USA. For the current year, Managing Director Marco Zingg told the newspaper "Bund" that he expects sales to fall by 10 to 15 percent, but is confident about the medium-term future. The bicycle is becoming increasingly important both as a cost-effective means of local transportation and as a piece of sports equipment.
