Bitzer has announced that it is building new corporate headquarters in Sindelfingen, Germany, close to its current head office.
In order that the design of the new corporate headquarters matches existing buildings in the area, Bitzer is calling for tenders from architects and will choose the most suitable proposal from a range of options.
In the long term, Bitzer aims to create around 500 workstations for employees in the building. In March 2013 it acquired the land at Tilsiter Strasse 1 and 3, within view of the current headquarters.
The older of the two buildings from the 1970s, the house on the corner of Eschenbrünnlestraße and Tilsiter Straße, is set to be replaced by the new corporate headquarters. The future corporate headquarters will be housed in a multi-storey building with 16 to 18 floors, an adjacent semi-basement and there will be two underground car park levels. As an architectural landmark, the new building is also expected to be highly visible from the A81 motorway.
Bitzer SE ceo Senator h c Peter Schaufler said: “By investing in the new heart of the company, Bitzer is making an unambiguous statement about the location in Sindelfingen and we will increase its value significantly.”
