Since selling its production building in Geneva in 2010, GF Machining Solutions in Meyrin has remained in possession of an administration building (approx. 6,600 sq. meters) and some 14,300 sq. meters of land. In view of optimizing the use of capital, the Board of Directors of GF has approved the sale of this property.

GF Machining Solutions has concluded a long-term rental agreement for the building, which was erected in 1987. The sale has no effect on business operations. The Meyrin location with its research and development center remains the global headquarters of GF Machining Solutions.

The sale price amounts to CHF 27 million. The transaction generates a profit before tax of CHF 19 million, to be booked in the present fiscal year.
