New wooden garb for a fruit and vegetable producer
Veganis GmbH is an Austrian production and trading company for high-quality organic fruit and vegetables. True to its motto, “organics in motion”, cultivation is based upon traditional, time-honoured knowledge. Veganis GmbH were the first company in Austria to enable laser engraving on fruit and vegetables. Rubner helped build a new packaging and processing hall in St. Andrä.
Rubner worked with the client to realise the planned packing and processing halls.
The first hall was built with a total of 153 m³ of glulam, 56 m³ of which were gable roof trusses with a length of 35 metres. A total of 1,120 m² of roof elements with OSB soffit were processed, while the wall cladding was fitted with façade and fire protection panels. Execution lasted from January to April 2019.
The short construction times, high-quality execution and very high level of customer satisfaction all saw Rubner commissioned to build a machine hall in 2022 and expand the packing hall in 2023.
