Home of COMFORT – Einsiedeln

Innovative strength and sustainable energy concepts combined under one roof. Profound expertise, a wide range of services and many years of experience form the basis of the competence centers for indoor climate solutions and the aluminum packaging industry, which have established themselves in Einsiedler Kobiboden since the 2010s.

Even more! The companies KST AG and Leuthold Mechanik AG are clearly committed to the Einsiedeln location and are investing specifically in the region and thus in Switzerland as a manufacturing location. In 2025, both companies moved into new buildings, which will secure around 250 jobs in the long term and strengthen the production location. In addition, the new buildings set architectural accents and have visionary energy parks.

Energy park – global innovation Coolshift and sustainable energy concepts.

2025 Sponsorship Award for KST AG

It's all about energy – free from fossil fuels and CO2-neutral. With the global innovation CoolShift, KST AG is the first company to implement particularly efficient, award-winning cooling technology.

144 panels mounted on the roof generate energy as photovoltaic modules during the day and rotate at night to naturally emit the building's excess heat via emitter modules. This energy-efficient cooling technology, which naturally releases heat stored in the concrete core across the sky during the day, thus completes the cycle of heating up and cooling down a building.

Technologies for tomorrow

The two companies rely on other technologies that are based on renewable energies and actively contribute to achieving Scheiz's ambitious sustainability goals in the long term:

Freecooling

Use of freely available resources for air conditioning buildings without energy requirements for mechanical refrigeration.

ice thermal energy storage

Water frozen to ice at low temperatures stores cooling energy, which is later provided for building and process cooling.

photovoltaics

Energy generation by converting sunlight into electrical energy for building operation.
