Bieri Tenta AG finalizes build of new warehousing facility
Grosswangen/Susten - Bieri Tenta AG, a company that specializes in technical textile solutions, has successfully completed the construction of a warehouse for Theler AG and BOWA Recycling AG at their Susten site. Moving forwards, the facility will enable efficient material management processes for recycling operations.
Bieri Tenta AG, a manufacturer of technical textile solutions based in Grosswangen in the Swiss canton of Lucerne, has announced the successful completion of a project to build a warehouse facility at a site in Susten in the canton of Valais. The client for this project was BOWA Recycling AG, which focuses on the recycling of contaminated soil materials and is a subsidiary of Theler AG based in Raron, also in the canton of Valais. According to the statement, the warehouse has been optimally designed to meet the requirements of a modern recycling operation and represents what is already the second project for which the two companies have joined forces. Back in 2019, Bieri realized a hall covering an area of 2,700 square meters for BOWA Recycling AG.
The Susten-based project involves a gable-roofed hall with a footprint of nearly 3,000 square meters. The warehouse is equipped with six Bieri roller doors (5 x 5 meters) and six emergency exit doors. These ensure that operations on site can proceed smoothly in addition to offering a high level of safety for daily operations. During the six-week assembly period, Bieri used a mobile crane to lift steel components weighing up to 13 tons into place. A membrane measuring 59 x 61 meters and weighing approximately 3.6 tons serves as the roof and covering of the hall. It is additionally possible to install a photovoltaic system on the membrane, giving customers the option of generating sustainable energy directly on site.
BOWA Recycling AG operates a soil washing plant in Leuk-Susten and a thermal treatment plant since 2024. According to the company, it achieves recycling rates of up to 99 percent for contaminated soil material.
The Bieri Group is a manufacturer of technical textile solutions for industrial, construction, transportation, architecture and events applications. The group is made up of Bieri Tenta AG from Grosswangen and Bieri Zeltaplan GmbH, which is headquartered in Leipzig, Germany.
