Tradingzone is more than a business model
There was a time before the Tradingzone. When the three founders of the company were tasked with removing furniture during relocations and site closures.
This furniture had one destination: the nearest disposal site. Small trucks full of furniture were simply destroyed before 2006. After just a few weeks, the company founders realized what they were doing:It doesn't have to be that way, it shouldn't be that way, it mustn't be that way! Why should good office furniture simply be thrown away? Office furniture in particular is durable, stable and can usually be used for more than 10 years. That would also be much cheaper for the companies! A goal was born: to give every piece of second-hand office furniture a new task.Of course, only after appropriate quality control by experts.
What if the quality is no longer right?
Our storage and logistics experts dismantle office furniture that is no longer needed into its component parts and hand them over to our partner companies for correct recycling. For example, wood waste is turned into pellets, which we then use to heat our buildings.

Our contribution to the environment
Transport optimization
Logistics– complex and indispensable – iis asignificant CO2 driver for many retail companies.The primary objective is: no detours, no empty runs.
If you do not select a preferred delivery date in the store, we will deliver flexibly. This creates freedom in planning and guarantees maximum utilization of our delivery fleet. Thanks to the experience of one of the largest logistics companies in Switzerland, we can draw on additional expertise in logistics management.
Energy savings in new buildings
Every company is familiar with conflicting objectives in the financial year. For us, the demand for constant product availability means that we need more stock. In conjunction with the growing customer base, a warehouse was built in Regensdorf in 2016. The building
meets modern construction standards
and has been supplying itself autonomously with energy in the most important areas since 2020 and with heat since its inception.
Photovoltaics
Since 2020, all electricity for the electric vehicle fleet and operations has been generated from solar energy. The previous, wild green roof had to make way. The
Photovoltaic system generates up to 430kWp of solar power and could supply up to 100 single-family homes with electricity
. A small step and yet another milestone for Tradingzone AG
LED lighting with sensors
In Regensdorf, we have installed LED lighting throughout the building. Most of the lights are equipped with motion sensors so that they only light up when someone is actually in the room. This is both practical and ecologically sensible in larger rooms.
