Plasterer and painter company Schlagenhauf renews its headquarters
The nationally active plastering and painting company Schlagenhauf is extensively remodeling its offices in Meilen. In the future, employees at the headquarters will work in a friendly open-plan office with state-of-the-art infrastructure. In this way, the family-owned company wants to continue to position itself as a top employer in the region.
Founded in 1934, the Schlagenhauf family business has grown from generation to generation. With several locations in the greater Zurich area, Winterthur, Baden
and Zug, it operates on a supra-regional basis, but still has a local presence. This allows it to be quickly on site with the customer. The company specializes in a wide variety of painting, flooring, plastering or masonry work, facade insulation, facade construction, scaffolding or complete renovations.
Responding to new needs
With the conversion of its offices in Meilen, Schlagenhauf is now responding to the changing needs and requirements. The company's goal is to digitize in a meaningful way over the next few years in order to offer both existing and future employees the most modern working environment possible. In addition, digitalization will enable the Schlagenhauf Group to work even more efficiently in the future and to implement customer projects with greater process reliability.
For the implementation of this vision, Schlagenhauf works together with the company Integral. Integral is responsible for the consulting, the design and the new office environment. By April 2023, the rooms at the headquarters will be transformed into an open-plan office with modern furniture and an inviting entrance area. The room layout and an adapted IT infrastructure are designed to encourage mobile working and offer employees greater flexibility. Instead of fixed workstations, different zones will be available for different activities in the future. In addition to "standard workstations," there will also be project rooms for team collaboration and retreat rooms for personal conversations or telephone calls.
Uniting a wide range of competencies under one roof
For Schlagenhauf, the offices in Meilen are an important calling card for customers and partner companies. Owner Rolf Schlagenhauf says of the renovation: "The new headquarters will reflect our passion for craftsmanship, our creativity and our quality awareness, and at the same time show that we literally unite a wide range of competencies under one roof."
