Success Stories Around the World

Patient rooms with quickly adaptable room climate using Belimo products.

Serious illnesses and injuries place high demands not only on the personnel and infrastructure of a hospital. In particular, patients are faced with the major challenge of long stays and extensive treatments.
The University Hospital Zurich (USZ) has always been a leader in the treatment of burn injuries and was able to further strengthen its position by opening the new «SUED2» building. Among other things, it is equipped with a specialised clinic for the treatment of burn victims, which offers the highest degree of comfort for patients through the use of Belimo products and also makes longer stays in the clinic more pleasant. The building was planned and designed by the USZ Real Estate Directorate in collaboration with the Canton of Zurich Construction Directorate. The HVAC installation was planned by Hochstrasser Glaus & Partner Consulting AG, system integrator was Burkhalter Technics AG.

Reliable sensor technology ensures smooth system operation.

In August 2019, the Swiss Institute for Translational and Entrepreneurial Medicine (sitem) in the Berner Insel district was opened after a construction period of almost two and a half years. This site should further strengthen Berne as a leading  medical location with international appeal. The main objective of the research  and innovation centre is the transfer of scientific findings from basic research  and industrial developments into clinical applications.

Over 800 Belimo components were installed in the gold award-winning new building from Scott Sports.

In spring 2019, the Swiss sporting goods manufacturer Scott Sports moved into a new office building at its headquarters in Givisiez. The striking, prestigious building offers over 26,000 square meters of space for 600 employees. The centrepiece is a light-flooded atrium with vertical wooden slats. Another eye-catcher are the filigree sun protection sails made of anodised aluminium on the facade.

The company is regarded as a specialist in system engineering, energy and building technology (heating, ventilation, sanitation and air conditioning). It demonstrated its comprehensive know-how in various projects, including the new construction of the Allianz Arena in Munich. Its own flagship project is the Green Factory 2.0 in Ungerhausen (DE). With a total area of 18,000 m², it is the world's largest virtually energy self-sufficient green factory. Sustainable and energy-efficient production is also the focus at BELIMO Automation AG. With the new generation of butterfly valves and the PR and PRK butterfly valve actuators with emergency control function (SuperCap), Müller has found a solution to achieve its targets.

New chiller with communicative PR actuator - Reliability, security and energy efficiency achieved with Belimo

A reliable cooling circuit is particularly important for the pharmaceutical company SwissCo Services AG in Sisseln (CH). The temperature and above all the humidity in the production plants are decisive for manufacturing the company's effervescent and tablet products. Alongside reliable operation and keeping temperature and humidity levels constant, the aim of refurbishing the cooling plant was to optimise energy consumption.
