Center of Collaboration in the Tri-border region of Germany – France – Switzerland

With more than 8,500 employees in 25 countries around the world, ARaymond places great importance on employee well-being and development as essential prerequisites for the company’s continued success. Thanks to its innovative strength and sustainable value creation, the ARaymond network is today one of the world's leading providers of fastening and assembly solutions in the automotive, energy, agriculture, and healthcare sectors.

For the new construction of the German "Center of Collaboration" in Lörrach, the interior design concept for 300 employees with 220 workstations was implemented by the interior design team from Office Vision® and the Meinlschmidt sales and assembly team, across a total of 6,500 m² of office space with a cafeteria. The training center is currently in planning. Overall, the goal and subsequent result was that employees now prefer coming back to the office rather than working from home.

The agile workplace design includes open space areas, desk-sharing, meeting rooms for hybrid team work as well as rooms with retreat options for focused work. In creative rooms, hybrid communication zones, and flexible team rooms for cooperation and collaboration, true innovations are born, and inventiveness is encouraged. This aligns with the ARaymond motto, "Innovation through Collaboration."

The particular challenge of completing the project within a short timeframe and with a specified budget was successfully met through close and cooperative teamwork of the project management team.

“The ARaymond Center of Collaboration is focused on progress. This means that we are looking for new ways to make our employees part of this process. An agile work environment under the principles of New Work meets this challenge precisely.” - A.Raymond GmbH & Co. KG
