We rely on Swiss timber
04.08.2020
Wood is a naturally renewable raw material that only requires solar energy and water for its production. Harvesting and processing take place with very little energy and the material also stores CO2. As a Swiss timber partner, Timbatec is committed to the use of this domestic raw material - also in public tenders.
New life for the Aarau Castle Mill

Since 1974 the wheel has been turning in the Schlossmühle Aarau. At that time it came to Aarau as a gift from the Bözen mill. But the wheel turned in no avail. The interior of the mill was empty and served as a storage room. Now the Schlossmühle is being extensively renovated. Timbatec calculated the statics of the many wooden components.

Achieving national climate targets due to timber construction
