With a mobile desk policy this office allows employees to work on sight or make use of mobile working benefits. In the office, most work zones can be freely chosen, offering the opportunity to work according to personal preferences. By providing the ideal environment, our employees are encouraged and empowered to develop their skills freely and perform to the best of their ability.
Spatial separations and home office situations during the Corona pandemic showed clearly that there was a lack of proximity and close personal exchange for creative processes. "We have created a place in Hamburg where our corporate culture comes alive", says Lars Wallstein, Managing Director IMCD Germany.
The innovative building shell made of a sustainable building material provides better thermal insulation and a good heat transfer coefficient. The solar control glazing also reduces solar radiation and thus prevents the office rooms from heating up too much.
In 2001, the foundation was laid for the construction of the largest inner-city development project in Europe: Hamburg's HafenCity. Today, a vibrant district with many creative quarters and exciting architecture has emerged on the former 157-hectare harbour and industrial site.
The "city within the city" combines different areas of life such as workplace and residential use, retails, education, culture, leisure, and tourism. In addition to its central location, HafenCity's intelligent mobility concept (including very good public transport connections, car-sharing systems and bicycle lanes) is also an important aspect of the city's development.
For IMCD, as a leading global provider of formulations, sales and distribution of speciality chemicals and ingredients, it is not only our services and our appreciative corporate culture that play an important role. The company's location is also crucial for attracting new talents, and HafenCity offers ideal conditions that contribute to that purpose.
Hamburg, as a metropolitan region, forms the second strategic location of IMCD Germany, and joins the offices in Cologne and Freiburg, and four application laboratories, where 260 employees carry out their daily tasks.
