two days after 60th anniversary celebration
Groundbreaking at Lauda for new office building
24.03.2016 – After Lauda Dr. R. Wobser GmbH & Co. KG was able to celebrate its 60-year existence with the entire staff on March 1, 2016, a groundbreaking ceremony followed two days later for a new administration building with offices and conference rooms. The new construction expands on the existing administrative wing by adding on to the production hall which was newly built in 2013. “The groundbreaking and expansion must be seen in the context of our own site development program STEP”, explained President & CEO Dr. Gunther Wobser and COO Dr. Marc Stricker on the occasion of the official groundbreaking ceremony.
Lauda has been using “STEP” to gradually modernise from the inside out for around ten years already. This has included such things as a reorganisation of the logistics and production processes of high-quality devices and systems to enable the company to remain a world market leader at optimal costs in the future. As a first step, a newly built production hall for heating and cooling systems was officially opened in September, 2008. Following the strengthening of pre-existing areas, particularly the premises of the former powder coating system, the next step was the construction of a new logistics center and the new “B 11” production hall, including a connecting structure between them, completed from December 2011 to December 2013 on a surface area totaling around 2800 m².
“We have considered again and again just how boldly we should build”, continues Dr. Gunther Wobser. More than 10 million euros were invested in the course of a decade for the aforementioned “STEP” actions. The company is increasingly facing cramped conditions with the future new construction of offices and meeting and seminar rooms. “Innovative ideas and creativity require a pleasant and suitable atmosphere”, explains the President & CEO with confidence. In addition to this, a laboratory is being set up in the building to enable such activities as the presentation of current new developments and innovations to customers. The new construction project also completed the final “STEP” action. In summary, Dr. Gunther Wobser emphasizes
According to Dr. Gunther Wobser new construction with two building units on the roof of production hall ”B11” is set for completion by September 2016. ”Just in time for the official large celebration of our 60-year company anniversary in mid September and for our Open House for the public in October”, pointed out the President & CEO.
