- makes ambitious architecture possible
“Our long-standing partnership with 4B is built on close collaboration and mutual trust. For the Zelg project in Uster, 4B manufactured the windows in Hochdorf and delivered them to Schötz exactly when needed. This allowed us to efficiently prefabricate the wall elements at our factory while maintaining a high level of quality, resulting in a win-win situation for both partners."
