The igus® factory in Cologne - by Nicholas Grimshaw
Extract from the architect's brief
"In October 1988, igus® acquired a plot of about 40,000 m2 in Porz-Lind, an urban area in Cologne. All core activities, including design, production, sales, administration, and planning will be carried out here at the company headquarters. igus® is prepared for fast growth and rapid changes in the future. For this reason, the new igus® factory should provide flexible work areas and its conception should promote the requirements of personnel. The design should reflect igus® products and the corporate philosophy: "Innovation. Service. Reliability.""

Operations at igus®
At igus® everything is open, anybody can walk in and meet anybody directly; all work is conducted at the same desks and the same work equipment.
Our customers are as important for us as the sun is for life on earth. The sun gives light, warmth and energy and our customers give us ideas, work and money.
