Nokera

Nokera AG is a Swiss-based company that has set out to transform the construction industry through sustainable and efficient building practices.

This "Green Factory" spans 116,000 square meters and has the capacity to produce up to 30,000 residential units per year.

This allows them to deliver multi-family homes in less than three months. The company emphasizes sustainability not only in its production processes but also in its products. Nokera's buildings are designed to be energy-efficient, with features such as photovoltaic installations and heat pumps, and are certified to the DGNB-Gold standard.

With a workforce of approximately 3,500 employees and a commitment to the UN Global Compact, Nokera AG is a significant player in the construction industry's shift towards sustainability.
