On the expansive Steinel site, the structure created by the surrounding urban development is being deliberately embraced.

The different zones are designed to meet one another intentionally and form a good symbiosis. Several residential zones, industrial zones, and the public zone (retirement home and football pitch) directly border the site. Through the 2015 zoning plan amendment, our site was thus deliberately rezoned as a mixed residential and commercial zone (with a maximum residential share of 30%), giving it a deliberate mediating character between the various focal points of use. The site, for example, gains a public pedestrian and cyclist route running from Kornhausstrasse to Langrütistrasse, as well as various residential and commercial buildings designed to allow living and working in close spatial proximity to one another. The relatively low utilization ratio set by the authorities results in generous spacing between the various buildings, creating a positive sense of space for all users. The open green areas will turn the site into a green microcosm within the village.

The structure of the site described above, combined with Einsiedeln's good infrastructure in the immediate vicinity and its pleasant proximity — just a few hundred meters — to open natural surroundings, results in an extremely high quality of life.

Einsiedeln has experienced a distinct development thanks to the influence of its centuries-old Benedictine monastery and the visitors (pilgrims) associated with it.

This long-standing openness toward visitors and outsiders continues today in a fundamentally positive attitude toward people coming from other parts of Switzerland or abroad. We also have great respect for the history of our site, which was developed in the middle of the last century by the Zug-based Landis & Gyr Group from agricultural land into an industrial site. Following various changes of ownership and economic difficulties in the mid-1990s, the then owners decided to give up the location and sold the business, along with its 232 employees at the time, to the Steinel Group, which continued Landis & Gyr's production operations there for a further three years.

In parallel, the company built up its own business at the Einsiedeln site. For over 30 years, Steinel has permanently employed around 120 people in Einsiedeln and has established a solid business in sensors and electronics serving a wide range of industrial customers. Five companies are tenants in our buildings, together employing roughly a further 40 people.

Another tradition that Steinel Solutions Ltd and Steinel Properties Ltd have carried forward is their close relationship with and support of FC Einsiedeln, one of the largest sports clubs in the area. Few people know that the club's first football pitch, the so-called "Sandplatz," was located on the Steinel site. This land was made available to the club free of charge by Landis & Gyr, and later by Steinel as well, for further expansion. As a result, the club was able to secure a new training ground at an early stage at a different location on the site (F). In 2024, the new situation arose that the club urgently needed to equip its grounds with modern artificial turf. Steinel Properties Ltd agreed to contribute the funds needed for the new training pitch by way of a substitute donation — amounting to a sizeable six-figure sum.

As a result, the Steinel site's development plan does not call for an additional building on this plot, but rather ensures an attractive green space for everyone to enjoy.
