We already reported on the construction of our new tool making shop in Härkingen in September 2020. At the end of the year, the machines were transported from the old hall to the new one; at the end of January 2021, the offices in the new building were ready. The design of the outdoor area is also progressing steadily. At the same time, the demolition of the old tool shop is in full swing. We talked to two responsible colleagues about all these changes.
On January 14, 2019, we broke ground for our new tool-making hall in Härkingen, Switzerland. Actual construction began shortly thereafter in February, with the work now coming along nicely. Get a look at this major project at our headquarter location here.
The health and safety of our employees is of vital importance to us. That is why we have set ourselves the goal of minimizing the risk of workplace accidents at our 13 RONAL GROUP production sites. If an employee is ill, unwell or injured, the medical department at each plant is there to look after our colleague. But what happens in the event of an unforeseen incident, like the one at our plant in Spain at the beginning of the year?
In the past year, the RONAL GROUP celebrated 50 years in existence with all employees at all locations around the world.

Our presence at trade fairs also fully reflected the anniversary year. And last but not least, on the occasion of our milestone birthday, we also issued our cult wheel RONAL R50 AERO in gold.
