Unilever Switzerland is making itself fit for the future. For this reason, the international functions and the national company are being brought together under one roof. To this end, Unilever is converting its premises at Schaffhausen railway station. The result will be an ultra-modern working environment that is fully geared to the future.

Production area becomes food competence centre

Production of the Knorr portfolio for the Swiss market will remain unchanged in Thayngen. However, the relocation of the national company to the city of Schaffhausen will enable a transformation of the Knorri, the Swiss production site. The space that becomes available is to be converted into a Foods Competence Centre and opened up to external interested parties. Investments will be made in new professional kitchens. The existing Chefmanship Centre will be expanded and modernised. This will provide professional chefs with even more space for workshops, further training and knowledge transfer. There are also plans to attract start-ups or research and development institutions. These will benefit from the direct link to production at the site, the extensive expertise of Knorr specialists on site and an attractive infrastructure. The aim is to create an ecosystem around the topics of nutrition and food production at the Thayngen site with the "Knorri" at its centre.

"Our 'Knorri' is the heart of the Foods Competence Centre that will be built in Thayngen. I am very excited about this big step, which will make Unilever in Switzerland fit for the future," says Thierry Mousseigne, General Manager Unilever Switzerland.
