The life-science ecosystem in the heart of Europe
As a state-of-the-art life-science ecosystem in the heart of Europe, GETEC PARK.STEIN is an international hub for innovation, research and production in the fields of pharmaceuticals, biotechnology, cell and gene therapy. Situated between Basel (45 km) and Zurich (60 km), the location enables efficient networking with leading companies and talent from Switzerland, Germany and France.
The life-science ecosystem – focus on collaboration
GETEC PARK.STEIN is home to a dynamic network of blue-chip companies such as Novartis, Lonza and Celonic as well as specialised service providers, which promotes knowledge and technology transfer through cluster-like settlements. The immediate proximity to the most important life-science regions in Europe and the bundled competences in the park maximise synergy effects and increase the innovative strength and competitiveness of the companies.
The proximity to leading life-science companies and the extensive expansion areas already offer space for growth and new settlements. The still unexploited park areas is a signal of great potential development. GETEC’s co-operation with regional authorities and partners also guarantees sustainable site development within an attractive economic environment. In this way, GETEC PARK.STEIN is developing into a forward-looking life-science ecosystem that attracts international companies and talent and supports their long-term success.
Stein is the ideal location for decision-makers from the life-sciences industry who value sustainable infrastructure, high operational quality and innovation networks.
GETEC PARK.STEIN is the centrepiece of the life-science region of north-west Switzerland. With state-of-the-art infrastructure, proximity to leading global companies such as Novartis, Lonza and Celonic and ideal transport links, the park offers perfect conditions for research, development and production.

GETEC PARK.STEIN offers life-science companies a comprehensive and integrated range of services that covers all infrastructural requirements in the pharmaceutical and biotechnological environment. The park not only operates state-of-the-art energy supply systems for electricity, steam, water and technical gases, but also provides comprehensive facility management services. These range from maintenance, cleaning and security to postal and workshop services and specialised engineering and project services such as building and process automation.
GETEC attaches particular importance to maintaining the highest quality standards, for example through preventive and corrective maintenance measures and GMP-compliant cleanroom cleaning in the various zones. Wastewater and waste management are also integral to the services, including pre-treatment of active substances, disposal and recycling.
The range of services is supplemented by logistics and site services such as company canteens, catering and fitness facilities to promote employee satisfaction and health. GETEC is also responsible for mobility management, ensuring that the site is optimally connected to the supra-regional transport infrastructure.
With this holistic infrastructure and service portfolio, GETEC enables life-science companies to focus on their core competences of research, development and production. At the same time, the sustainable and digitalised energy supply guarantees a stable, cost-efficient and future-proof operating environment.
Sustainable location development
Sustainable site development is a key element of GETEC’s strategy at GETEC PARK.STEIN. Following the takeover of the Rhine Valley Life Science Park from Novartis in 2023, GETEC is pursuing the goal of expanding the site as a first-class competence cluster for life-science companies and making a clear commitment to sustainable and economic activity.
The park benefits from a highly developed infrastructure that focuses on green energy and infrastructure services. In addition to the reliable supply of electricity, steam and water, the focus is on digitalising the energy supply in order to increase efficiency and reduce emissions. GETEC also supports companies in achieving their environmental goals with state-of-the-art wastewater and waste management, including the pre-treatment of active substances.
This development is supported by a cooperative approach with regional authorities and partners who promote the site as a strategic growth hub with high value-creation potential in the greater Sisslerfeld area. Around a third of the park’s area is still unused and offers considerable potential for growth and the establishment of new life-science companies at the site.
GETEC is continuously investing in the further development of the park with a focus on sustainable and digitalised solutions combined with commercial efficiency. This will make GETEC PARK.STEIN not only an internationally competitive production site, but also a pioneer in the decarbonisation of the life-science industry in Switzerland.
