N ew offices in Mumbai Endress+Hauser India is thrilled with its new premises
Plenty of space and a new customer center: Endress+Hauser India’s 187 people have much to offer their customers.
With over 20 percent growth and a doubled headcount in the last eight years, space in the existing sales center had been growing increasingly tight for Endress+Hauser India. In May 2015, the people working at the location moved to new headquarters on the seventh floor of ‘Godrej One’, a representative business center in the
Vikhroli suburb of Mumbai. The new building is a stone’s throw away from the old plot, offering a home to nearly 200 staff and excellent con nections to highways, rail station and airport. A true jewel in the crown is the new Customer Experience Center where Endress+Hauser’s product range is
presented in a modern and attractive setting (see photo on the right) and where customer training seminars are held. Conference and meeting rooms plus modern recreation zones radiate a pleasant atmosphere. The energy-certified building also accommodates staff facilities such as a restaurant, fitness room and childcare center.
New building in Italy
New sales subsidiary in Colombia
After more than 20 years of growth, the sales building of Endress+Hauser Italy near Milan is bursting at the seams. But soon there will be cause for celebration: building work at the nearby new construction – a three- storey building distinctively shaped like a glass cube – is progressing speedily. Its 5,700 square meters of floor space is expected to be occupied in the fall of 2015.
Endress+Hauser consolidates its market position in Colombia by establishing its own sales center: after two decades of successful cooperation, Endress+Hauser will take over the process automation sector of its sales and service partner Colsein Ltda. from 1 January 2016. Employing around a third of Colsein’s 250 staff, the new company will continue to reside in the country’s capital, Bogotà. Gabriel Navas, founder and director of Colsein, will become a member of the management team. With almost 50 million people, Colombia is Latin America’s most populous country after Brazil, and is the continent’s second biggest growth market after Chile. Prime economic drivers are the oil & gas industries, but the country also offers interesting perspec-
