GF Piping Systems celebrated the completion of its modernized headquarters and new customer training center twice: On 21 November 2019 with around 100 invited guests from politics and business, and on 22 November 2019 with a Family Day. Employees and their families were able to experience the modernized headquarters first hand thanks to guided tours and an interesting supporting program.
3'000 square meters of modern work space
The largest of the three GF divisions invested around CHF 20 million in the new infrastructure. This is GF's biggest investment in Schaffhausen in the last 30 years and therefore a commitment to the region. Over the past 18 months, 3'000 square meters of energy-efficient offices have been created along with co-working, team and project areas, plus a training center with state-of-the-art training rooms and a showroom. The aim of the open working environments is to promote cooperation among employees and to increase the pace of innovation at GF Piping Systems, says Joost Geginat, President of GF Piping Systems. “Our employees need to be able to meet more instead of moving back into their offices. Their work should be enjoyable.” The new infrastructure should also appeal to potential employees: “With the modernization, we want to position ourselves even more strongly as an attractive employer. We want to attract more highly qualified people,” says Geginat.
