Burgerstein builds
In June 2012, the Rapperswil site was further expanded. A modern commercial building was erected alongside the old factory, which dates back to 1791. Thanks to the new industrial building designed by Burkhalter Sumi Architects, Antistress AG was able to expand its premises by 1,600 m² of usable floor space. The modern architecture complements the traditional building perfectly. The building was awarded the “best architect 13” Award, which is regarded as a mark of quality for outstanding architecture.
40th Anniversary
Switzerland is a prosperous country with a good healthcare system. Yet even here, people can find themselves in personal emergencies and financial difficulties. As a token of gratitude, Burgerstein is donating 40,000 Swiss francs to Winterhilfe Schweiz on behalf of its loyal customers. This will help cover the healthcare costs of people in need in Switzerland.
