As part of an as­set deal, GE­TEC ta­kes over the in­fra­struc­ture and ser­vice buil­dings of the Swiss bio­tech­no­logy and phar­maceuti­cal com­pany No­var­tis. No­var­tis AG, head­quar­te­red in Ba­sel, will also re­main the ow­ner of the site and its own pro­duc­tion halls, while the real es­tate re­qui­red for the ope­ra­tion of the in­dus­trial park (e.g. warehouse and of­fice buil­dings) will be trans­fer­red to GE­TEC.

As the new ow­ner of the in­dus­trial park, GE­TEC will take over all in­dus­trial park ser­vices. These in­clude en­ergy supply, fa­ci­lity ma­nage­ment, lo­gistics and en­viron­men­tally fri­endly was­te­wa­ter tre­at­ment. In 2017 the two parks com­bi­ned for re­ve­nues of about EUR 132m.
