Not a "lighthouse" in the true sense, but a construction project that has a signal effect in its dimensions, architectural design as well as its future function, is now being created with the groundbreaking ceremony for the doubling of the office capacity of TGW Logistics for around 50 million euros at the main site in Marchtrenk.

“TGW Logistics has grown so dynamically in recent years that we had to rent satellite offices for collaboration or interdisciplinary networking within the ideal”explains Henry Puhl. “With the expansion of our headquarters, we can consolidate these external spaces again. This is a key prerequisite for achieving our growth target doubling our revenue to two billion euros by 2030.”,
Intralogistics is a growth industry with enormous potential. Puhl: "This is also clearly demonstrated by our record order intake of €1.5 billion from the past fiscal year. The investment in our headquarters forms the basis for remaining the number one project delivery company for our customers in the future."
Activity-Based Working
The new offices will be designed according to the "activity-based working"approach: there are no fixed workstations; instead, employees choose their workspace based on the activity at hand. Depending on the task or project, teams can thus collaborate with a high degree of flexibility, supported by modern communication and collaboration tools. TGW Logistics is relying on regional partners for planning, construction, and furnishing – and on value creation in Austria.
