Rolex Proposes Expansion in Bulle
Rolex presently employs around 14,000 people worldwide, 9000 of them in Switzerland. The proposed expansion in Bulle, situated in the Swiss canton of Fribourg, is estimated to increase that number by 2000 employees.
The new campus is slated to be finished in 2029. In the interim, Rolex has taken over a Tetrapak factory in Romont to augment production. Once outfitted, the former Tetrapak facility will employ 250-300 people, who will move to the Bulle campus upon its completion.
