New headquarters in Austria

The new company headquarters in Mäder are scheduled to be ready for occupancy at the end of 2023. All Austrian facilities, from manufacturing and warehousing to research and development, administration and training, will in future be located in the premises and halls, covering a total of around 20,000 square meters.

The focus is on employee satisfaction and optimized processes 

"With the new building in Mäder, we will be implementing our own high standards when it comes to creating an atmosphere for our employees in which everyone can feel comfortable and work productively. We are pleased that in future we will be able to offer a canteen as well as various recreational lounges and green areas that meet the most up-to-date and well thought-out requirements," says Dr. Wolfgang Reim, CEO, underlining the company's intention. The rapid growth of Amann Girrbach has also prompted the need to merge the individual sites while expanding them at the same time. "There has been an increasing lack of space in recent years due to our very satisfying corporate development, and we have had to resort to external premises on several occasions. At the new, central location, it will now also be possible to optimize cooperation between the individual departments, resulting in improved processes and workflows, and the entire logistic chains between the present locations will be eliminated," explains Reim. 

State-of-the-art, sustainable building with a photovoltaic system

Another key brief in the planning of the new headquarters was the commitment to sustainably reduce the company's carbon footprint. The building will be fitted with one of Vorarlberg's largest photovoltaic systems, with an output of up to 1.15 MWp - Megawatt peak. We utilize heat from the sintering furnaces to heat the building, and the heat pumps operate with groundwater. The planned green roof is also designed to promote biodiversity. The cooperation partner Garbe is a technical and structural co-developer as well as being the owner of the new building.
