Construction of the first of the two planned warehouses is scheduled for completion in summer 2025, Galaxus said in a press release on Wednesday. With a surface area of around 90,000 square metres, the site will rival in size Switzerland’s largest logistics centre, located in Wohlen, canton Aargau, near Zurich.

Products sold by Galaxus generally arrive via northern European ports,” explains Michael Stolle, director of operations at Digitec Galaxus, in the press release.
