Moving Company Embrach – Removals for Private Customers and Businesses

From 1809 to 1931 the municipality was officially called Unterembrach, and in the local dialect it is still known as Ämbri. The Embrachertal, a broad side valley of the Töss with a U-shaped cross-section, was formed by the Linth glacier during the Riss glaciation. At the end of 2018, 9,436 people lived here in a municipality that stretches from the Töss gorge to the Blauen area.

Valley floor and slopes

The valley floor is a plain of around 500 hectares, five kilometres long and up to one and a half kilometres wide. It is bounded by the Blauen to the east, the Dättenberg to the west, Ghei and Egg to the south and the Töss gorge to the north. The Wildbach stream drains the valley northwards into the Töss near Rorbas. Between the highest point, the Tisch at 609 m above sea level, and the Töss at 360 m, there is a difference of almost 250 metres in altitude.

As movers in Embrach, we therefore distinguish between the following when planning:

• Addresses on the flat valley floor, where the parking spot and carrying distance matter most
• Flats on the slopes, where we check the access road and vehicle size at the free viewing
• Farms on the edge of the municipality, for which we agree the approach route in advance

Workshops, medical technology and shower curtains

In 1871, the Zinggeler silk-twisting mill opened as the first industrial business; what remains is its water reservoir, the Chlostergumpen, now a nature reserve. As the last heir to the textile tradition, the company Spirella still produces shower curtains in Embrach. For a long time, quartz sand was also extracted here for the glassworks in Bülach, and the Illinger Mühle mill was already using water power in the 9th century. The old forges gave rise to precision engineering and medical technology businesses. In total, the municipality offers 3,748 jobs (as of 2021), just over 78 per cent of them in the service sector.

For companies, our removals team handles the move outside business hours, including furniture assembly at the new location, disposal of old furniture and furniture storage if required.

Families and commuters in the valley

Embrach has 4,241 private households (as of 2022), and around 1,700 pupils attend kindergarten, primary and secondary school, at locations including Dorf, Hungerbühl and Ebnet. Families with children often like to schedule moving day during the school holidays or on a Saturday; we charge no Saturday surcharge.

Zurich Airport is around 6 kilometres to the south-west. For a move to Kloten or as removal company for Bülach, the district capital beyond the Dättenberg, distances are short. Our base in Wallisellen is around 11 km away as the crow flies. On request, your moving company in Embrach also takes care of the end-of-tenancy cleaning.
