puralpina extension building
More space for craftsmanship, natural products and people
We're taking you along during the extension construction!
Not prim and proper. Not perfect.
But just as it is when you're building – and continuing to work at the same time.
We're moving!
Now things are getting serious: We're moving! The building is up, the exterior scaffolding is down, and the interior fit-out is almost complete. What's still missing? Life in the new building. The rooms are now being filled, bit by bit. Production kicked off the move. Now the office follows, and soon the employee room will also be furnished ;)
So, things are getting really exciting for the puralpina family!
Away with the cover
Yay, the roughest scaffolding is gone! Finally, we can see the beautiful wooden facade.
Now we're really slowly but surely heading into the final stretch. Soon it'll be time to move and settle in.
We're excited!
The terrace is coming!
The building is up, the interiors are being fitted out, and our sun terrace is on its way! A terrace for relaxing is being built directly in front of our employee lounge. In the future, lunch or a mid-morning snack can be enjoyed there in the sun on nice days. We are excited!
Now things are suddenly moving fast
Our wooden components have been delivered and suddenly things are moving fast. Within a week, our new extension will emerge from simple concrete pillars! The whole thing is taking shape and we are thrilled!
Why we're opting for wood in our new build
Our new building is intended to reflect what we stand for: naturalness, quality, and responsibility towards our environment. That's why we consciously chose a timber construction.
Why? You can find out in the video or in our new blog.
Too heavy to lift
This is how obstacles are cleared. If tons of stones are blocking the way, dynamite is used. Watch the video.
Construction machinery in use
We are amazed every day at how quickly the construction is progressing and what the heavy construction machines are revealing piece by piece.
The launch of the construction project in Frutigen
The go-ahead for the extension was given on October 27, 2025.
Since then, a lot has changed on the site. Demolition, excavation and concreting have taken place. What previously only existed on paper is now gradually taking shape. The expansion of our manufactory is a major project for us – both organizationally and financially.
But we are convinced: It is an investment in the future of puralpina.
That's why we're building on
puralpina is growing.
Step by step. Year by year. Together with you.
What began over 30 years ago in a converted cowshed is now a family business with around 50 employees. In Frutigen, they produce natural products by hand every day – with care, experience, and conviction.
With this growth, we reached a point where it became clear:
There's no longer enough space.
We are not building to appear bigger.
We are building to be able to work better.
