Zurich/Aargau, 23 April 2025 – HIAG has successfully concluded a 20-year rental agreement with Oerlikon Metco, a global leader in surface technology, polymer processing and additive manufacturing, for production and office buildings on the Reichhold campus in Hausen/Lupfig. The rental agreement stems from an existing development agreement for the long-term settlement of Oerlikon Metco at this site. This makes Oerlikon Metco one of HIAG's five largest tenants. 

Oerlikon Metco is merging its existing Wohlen, Dottikon and Winterthur sites on the Reichhold campus at the Birrfeld motorway junction, thereby strengthening Switzerland's position as an assembly and production location for its coating and systems business with this investment.

After receiving the legally effective building permit at the end of February 2025, HIAG started construction of the modern production centre and office building in mid-April 2025. The rentable floor space of the two new buildings is around 15,000 m². Occupation is planned for the end of 2026. 

"Oerlikon Metco is relocating important production sites and bringing around 230 highly qualified jobs to the Reichhold campus, which underlines the site's potential," says Marco Feusi, CEO of HIAG. "The successful letting confirms HIAG's strategy of attracting forward-looking industrial and technology companies as tenants and thus creating further added value for our investors."
