In June 2018, Bobst Lyon in France broke ground on a new commercial building at its Bron site. It will be used by the company’s entire administrative staff as of early 2020.
The new 177-meter long facility is designed in a pure and contemporary architectural style, in line with Bobst’s corporate identity. This innovative three-level building is designed to promote communication, interaction and creativity within the organization across its 10,200 square meters of office space. Glass façades will provide employees with excellent natural lighting, and the building envelope will offer a high thermal performance.
“Our packaging machines are high-tech products manufactured in a rigorous industrial environment that requires continuous contact between the production workshops, R&D engineers and installation teams,” says Emmanuel Roquet, Chairman of Bobst Lyon. “Having a manufacturing facility that brings together all the company’s services at a single site will help rationalize our structure and enhance efficiency.”
The construction of this administrative building is the third and final phase of Bobst’s site renovation project at Lyon. These investments in the future are going into improving company infrastructure and developing employee expertise through the Competence Centre.
