Modern work spaces and an inspiring environment
Energy for the day
A modern company restaurant provides the foundation for an energy-charged working day in Leonberg. It offers a healthy range of meals and is subsidised up to 50 per cent - and best of all: it’s super tasty!
Networked work spaces
Ideal working conditions can be found in all departments. The interiors and technical equipment promote the exchange of ideas and networking of specialist areas.
Relaxation and nature
A biotope with bee and insect hotels – including a walking path – offers all employees a place of retreat in the fresh air, and at the same time protects insect and plant species threatened with extinction.
Modern media technology
Good ideas rarely appear at a desk, but rather in agile project spaces or in creative areas. A pleasant environment and modern, mobile media technology make it easier to develop unconventional solutions.
International workforce
Our staff mirror our international focus. They look beyond their departments and work in a constructive, networked, and effective manner.
Flexible rooms - agile working

Quality ‘made in Germany’
We work with the latest machines and aids within our production site. This is the basis of quality ‘made in Germany’, which we are proud of.
Study areas for trainees & students

Work smart
Quickly create the optimal indoor climate: If several teams are working in the same area, then the lighting and ventilation sources can be changed on an ad hoc basis at any time.
Architecture for innovative capacity
Our development centre provides state-of-the-art work spaces for product development, trials, and tests. Furthermore, products can be tested under real conditions, as the whole building is ‘smart’.
