fenaco Genossenschaft has acquired a plant protection warehouse in Birmenstorf from Leu+Gygax AG, enabling AGROLINE to enhance its operations and sustainability efforts by relocating from its current site in Winterthur.

Information on the Target

AGROLINE, a subsidiary of the Swiss agrarian cooperative fenaco, specializes in providing farmers with comprehensive solutions for sustainable plant protection. Currently, one of AGROLINE's facilities is situated in the Grüze district of Winterthur, which has limited potential for future development due to infrastructural constraints. Moreover, the city of Winterthur plans to repurpose the industrial and commercial area around the Grüze train station in the coming years, prompting AGROLINE to search for an alternative location. On December 1, 2025, fenaco will acquire the plant protection warehouse in Birmenstorf (AG) from Leu+Gygax AG. This transition will enable AGROLINE to enhance its operations with a more suitable infrastructure.

The acquisition presents an opportunity for AGROLINE to complete the relocation and renovation of the new facility before the start of the new planting season. While the financial terms have not been disclosed, it is essential to note that the deal focuses solely on the real estate and does not include the operational activities of Leu+Gygax AG.
