Last weekend, Magirus Schweiz GmbH officially opened its new sales and service centre in Schongau, Canton of Lucerne.

Saturday was open to the public: during the open day, approximately 500 visitors explored the new premises and learned about the latest solutions in firefighting and civil protection.
