LZ Media Center takes shape

Construction work on the new media center of LZ Medien Holding began on Monday. The new building and conversion at the existing Maihof site will provide workplaces for 400 people and should be ready for occupation by spring 2009. The conversion and new construction will be carried out in stages, which will guarantee that operations can be maintained. In September 2005, the Board of Directors of LZ Medien Holding decided to build a media center at the same location in Lucerne. Publicitas Lucerne will now also move into the Maihof, and Tele Tell television will also be housed in the premises. The new media center will house the administration of the LZ Group, the publishing, editorial and pre-press departments of the Neue Luzerner Zeitung as well as pvg and LZ Fachverlag. The locations of the Luzerner Druckenzentrum in Adligenswil, Calendria AG and Multicolor Print AG in Baar will not be affected. According to its own figures, LZ Medien Holding employed 499 people in 418 full-time positions at the end of 2005.
