Würth inaugurates new offices at Gaisbach
19 August 2016
The new administration building of Adolf Würth GmbH & Co KG, which provides workspace for 580 employees as well as space for conferences and seminars, was inaugurated in a large celebration on 13th June 2016.
Speakers at the inauguration included Prof Dr Reinhold Würth, chairman of the supervisory board of the Würth Group’s family trusts; Bernd Herrmann, member of the central managing board of the Würth Group; and district administrator Dr Matthias Neth.
Attention to the customer, competence and quality are of utmost priority at Adolf Würth. The new branch office includes an 800m2 sales area, and the location’s close proximity to Federal Highway ensures customer accessibility.
“Würth invests in all sales channels. The new branch office in Gaisbach is a visible symbol of the strategy we pursue,” said Bernd Herrmann. “We are sure that our regional customers will respond well to it.” Over 400 branch offices cover the immediate needs of customers across Germany.
The cube shaped, seven story branch office building with atrium also houses offices, a showroom, a seminar area and a company restaurant. Costing €28.5 million, construction took two years. The pick up shop has been open since the end of April.
During the inauguration, the company also celebrated the 25th anniversary of Akademie Würth. Since its foundation in 1991, an extensive range of courses has allowed employees to put together their own continued education programmes. Since 2003, Akademie Würth Business School has offered ‘on the job’ programmes for further academic qualification to Group employees. These include earning an MBA, offered in cooperation with the University of Louisville in Kentucky, USA. It also organises training seminars and continued education courses for its customers.
During a panel discussion Reinhold Würth said: “One thing has always been clear to me – we must never stop learning. We would not fit into this day and age anymore if we hadn’t continued to develop even each and every minute of each and every hour. For that reason, it was clear that we as a company have to regularly offer our employees the opportunity to continue learning.”
