Stadler plans CHF 33 million expansion of Biel steel foundry site

(AWP Alliance News) - Stadler Rail AG will invest CHF 33 million to modernize and expand its steel foundry in Biel, with construction slated to start in early 2027. The project includes a new logistics hall, an extension of the existing building, and startup of the new infrastructure in 2028. The upgrade targets a 15% cut in energy use, supported by an 8,900-square-meter solar installation. The plan also aims to reduce production waste by about 80% through more efficient reuse of casting materials.

The site's 115 jobs are expected to be secured, with headcount set to rise by 5%.
