Hug Baustoffe AG
Building Materials Expertise Since 1946
Owner-led Hug Baustoffe AG has supplied Zurich-area construction pros for almost eighty years.
What began with a single warehouse in Uster now spans eight branches — Altendorf, Bülach, Elsau, Hinwil, Jona, Nänikon, Volketswil, Wettingen and Zurich.
Hug links builders to the right materials and tools, backed by hands-on staff whose backgrounds range from masonry to plumbing.
Multiple Workstations, One Tight Schedule
With the new Elsau build, Hug needed a full suite of office and break-area furniture. Must-haves: height-adjustable desks for staff with back issues, two fully specced counter stations for face-to-face customer talks, and hard-wearing tables and chairs for three break rooms on different floors. Everything had to be installed before opening day so materials handling could keep rolling without a pause.
Schäfer Shop Delivers, Installs and Clears Away
After a market review, Hug chose Schäfer Shop for an all-in-one package covering sourcing, timeline coordination and on-site setup.
A single point of contact mapped every workstation, selected sit-stand desks, swivel office chairs, built-in cabinets and matching furniture for every break area.
One install crew fitted all rooms in a day, keeping the construction site running smoothly.
Ergonomic Workspaces and High Satisfaction
Staff glide from sitting to standing in one motion, easing strain on the back. Counters and break areas stay neat and welcoming, and customers value the swift, face-to-face service at the new site.
Because each desk is fully modular, the layout adapts in minutes—adding extra consultation points or turning the break room into a pop-up team hub whenever needed.
Full-Service With Zero Complaints
"From planning through installation everything ran like clockwork. The Schäfer Shop crew showed up with the right manpower, assembled each workstation flawlessly, and whisked away every scrap of packaging.
Our team is thrilled, and the feedback has been 100 percent positive."
