In January 2022, two Swiss visionaries, Marcel Aumer and Sascha Carroccio, founded FlexBase. What began as a visionary concept involving years of research and countless proof of concepts is now an established group of companies with impressive reach.
FlexBase stands for innovative solutions, sustainable thinking, and collaborative partnerships. As a corporate group, we combine expertise from various fields to jointly create added value - for our customers, our partners and the region.
Our goal is to actively shape the future: with projects that enable progress, with technologies that open up opportunities and with a team that takes responsibility. We combine entrepreneurial dynamism with solid values - thus creating the basis for long-term success.
The FlexBase Group stands for innovation with impact, performance with responsibility and growth with sustainability. Our corporate ecosystem brings together six specialized units that collectively form a strong platform for transformative market solutions.
More than 60 years ago, energy history was made in the Swiss town of Laufenburg on the Rhine in the canton of Aargau – a pioneering technical achievement that laid the foundation for today's European interconnected grid. This groundbreaking project, known as the “Star of Laufenburg,” revolutionized cross-border energy distribution and made the town a central hub for European power supply.
FlexBase is further developing the significance of this historic location. Laufenburg is the birthplace of the European electricity grid and the most important and strategically significant energy hub on the continent.
We guarantee the high-performance and fail-safe operation of our pioneering infrastructures and are driving the energy transition forward with our large-scale battery storage system. By strategically combining energy storage and high-performance data centers, we are tapping into unique synergies – from intelligent waste heat utilization to the implementation of digital grid control systems.
As an innovation center at the interface of energy and technology, we develop solutions that transcend boundaries. We are redefining standards for sustainable resource management, strengthening European innovation and creating future-proof jobs with international appeal.
We see ourselves as more than just a working group or company. Together, we broaden horizons, turn challenges into opportunities and celebrate milestones. Our team brings together visionary thinkers, pragmatic implementers and passionate experts - all united by a common goal.
In our environment, it is not only skills that count, but also the people behind them. We cultivate dialogue on an equal footing, promote mutual strengths and create an atmosphere in which every idea is heard. Only by combining our expertise can we achieve extraordinary things – and only as a team can we push the boundaries of innovation tomorrow. Discover our corporate culture and become part of our mission for the future!
The world's largest and most modern redox flow battery storage facility is being built in Laufenburg on a site covering more than 40,000 m². This energy system is complemented by a high-performance AI data center.
A pioneering redox flow battery storage facility is being built at the Technology Center Laufenburg, offering impressive sustainable, safe and fully recyclable technology. It supports the integration of renewable energies by storing surplus electricity and releasing it again when needed. This stabilizes the grid, reduces the risk of outages and strengthens the security of supply in Switzerland and Europe.
The world's first sovereign AI factory built to Swiss standards is being created as part of the Technology Center Laufenburg project. The FlexBase AI data center differs fundamentally from conventional data centers.
The project centers on a new building covering an area of over 40,000 m². Where a small switchgear facility once stood, a building unlike any other is now being constructed. It must meet the highest standards, demonstrate maximum stability, withstand high floor loads and at the same time be scalable and flexible. Every square meter counts and every kilogram is crucial to ensure that the overall project can realize its full potential.
