Konditorei Zauner expands employee residence

For several years now, the gradual expansion of the housing options for Zauner's employees has become one of the company's most important investment priorities. In recent years, not only has the number of employees at the pastry shop grown by almost 30%, but the number of housing options within walking distance of the Zauner operations has also nearly tripled. Following the expansion of the employee residence, Zauner employees have approximately 60 apartments at their disposal.

"With this investment we will be able to offer an even better mix of different housing options for our Employees It is becoming increasingly important to cater to individual needs, and so we try to offer a wide range of options, from small single apartments to spacious apartments for couples, in order to best meet all requirements.“, Philipp Zauner, Managing Director.

As part of the expansion, the employee residence will also be equipped with a 65 kWp PV system, which will supply the building with the necessary electricity and distribute surplus energy to the two Bad Ischl company locations through the Zauner Energy Community, founded in 2025.

"By 2024, we were already able to cover almost 40% of our electricity consumption through our own production. Two additional PV systems will be commissioned this year, enabling us to produce at least 55% to 60% of our electricity needs ourselves. Our medium-term goal is to achieve full coverage through our own production.,” Philipp Zauner.

The project surrounding the expansion of the employee residence is being implemented exclusively with regional partners.
