5,000 m² of training and office space
The building covers 5,000 m² across four floors. Two floors are used by Anton Paar GmbH, while the others are reserved for growth and will initially be rented out. The central element is the modern Regional Technical Center with a 400 m² laboratory showroom. It includes a main laboratory, specialized laboratories for polymers, plastics, food, and animal feed, as well as an XRD laboratory. Almost the entire product portfolio of Anton Paar is presented here. In addition, there are training rooms for at least 50 people. A 100 kW photovoltaic system supplies the building with energy.

We provide a central location to work efficiently with our sales subsidiaries on the challenges of our customers, to present our portfolio, and to train our sales and service team across the region. This enables us to meet the requirements of the rapidly developing APAC region with high-quality and fast support.”
