Work under way in Vuadens

At the end of August, Bumotec began construction of its new factory situated in the commune of Vuadens, in Gruyère. The firm, which specialises in the production of high-precision, multi-function machine tools, has clients in the watchmaking, medical and micro-engineering sectors.

The new entity, covering an area more than twice the size of a football pitch, will meet the environmental and energy-efficiency criteria of the Starrag Group to which it belongs. Renewable energy will be used to heat the plant, while its roof will be covered with large solar panels.
