A decision was therefore made in 2015 to bring together the product development teams into one building that meets today''s requirements for a working environment.

The individual window zones are controlled automatically, but can also be regulated manually. This means that every employee can use the tablets in the offices to enter their own shading settings, for example for meetings or presentations. The panes of glass tint quickly, noiselessly and dynamically, without disturbing the users.
The Freudenberg-based architects also designed a 3000 m2, elongated production hall for manufacturing dies and systems. This is attached directly to the office building. The long sides and gable ends of the hall which face the town centre were clad in the Schade of grey and the materials used by the company ? AI for aluminium, Ti for titanium, Mg for magnesium and Cu for copper. A stylised fox''s head ? the company''s logo ? was also applied to the fabric, along with a web of fine, bright lines and points which resemble chains of molecules. The textile fa
