Wellness made in Altendorf
The production of our saunas in our own carpentry workshop in Altendorf SZ allows us to meet the personal needs of our customers. In this interview, workshop manager Markus Wichert lets us look him in the eye and reveals a lot about the manufacture of our products on Lake Zurich. After all, all of our equipment is manufactured in Altendorf and proudly bears the "Swiss made" label.
What particularly fascinates you about your work at Küng Wellness AG?
I particularly enjoy working with solid wood: the different properties of the woods and their respective character present me with a new challenge every day. I also appreciate our team spirit, which is essential for successful project implementation. And the fact that all our products are manufactured at the Swiss site in Altendorf is great!
How do you imagine the collaboration with the design department?
My carpentry team has the task of identifying possible pitfalls in advance during implementation. Good cooperation with the design department is therefore very important. Of course, this often involves finding compromises. Not every customer request can be realized 1-to-1. So far, however, no idea has had to be completely discarded!
What else makes you sweat?
Demanding customer requests or delivery deadlines sometimes also make me sweat.
