It is no coincidence that RWD Schlatter is Switzerland's number 1 for doors: just like ecologically valuable products, customer relationships based on partnership are crucial for RWD Schlatter.
This includes short distances. The new 5000 square meter logistics center, which was put into operation at the end of April 2023 at the headquarters in Roggwil, is an expression of being close to the customer and serving them with short delivery times.
At the same time, the new building also offers plenty of space for a warehouse of standard doors, which is stocked by the German sister company Prüm. Its plant in Rhineland-Palatinate is currently being expanded to become the largest door plant in Europe. Together, the Arbonia Doors Division offers a unique full range on the Swiss market with high-quality functional doors produced by RWD Schlatter and standard doors produced by Prüm. The division markets the joint specialist retail range under the Arbonia Doors brand. In doing so, it is continuously pursuing its goal of being the best partner for the specialist trade, with a broad, first-class range and delivery times that are unique in Switzerland.
The roof of the warehouse and logistics hall is fitted with 750 photovoltaic modules, which currently cover around 25 percent of the electricity requirements of the energy-intensive production facility. In the coming years, RWD Schlatter plans to install further photovoltaic systems on existing buildings.
The new building is a commitment to the Roggwil site and to Switzerland as a business location. The ground-breaking ceremony took place in spring 2022; construction work lasted just over a year. Once the new warehouse and logistics hall is operational, the market in French-speaking Switzerland and retailers in German-speaking Switzerland can be supplied within five to ten days.
Also new is a showroom in the main building, combined with a new training center that can be used for employees, customers, architects or for external purposes. The hall, showroom and training center continue RWD Schlatter's strategy of increasing capacity and efficiency and optimizing service for customers.
