HatchTech Group has revealed plans for its new corporate headquarters, in the heart of the Dutch food valley in Veenendaal.
This state-of-the art headquarters will serve as a home for all the HatchTech divisions, and as a “creative hatchery” for new ideas and innovations.
By bringing all disciplines under one roof, from research to design and from customer support to sales, HatchTech said that the new headquarters will largely contribute to realising the ambitions of the group.
“As we lay the foundation of our new headquarters, we are also laying the foundation to build on further, stable growth for our company and the agri-food industry,” said CEO Tjitze Meter.
“This is an opportunity we owe to the faith of our customers in our vision and products.
The new building will offer the creative, inspiring environment that is essential to facilitate innovation and progress.
“Besides, the headquarters will be more than a place to work from. It will also be a meeting place, where we can welcome customers and relations.”
Training and exhibition
Meter said that upon entering the headquarters, visitors enter the showroom, which resembles a permanent exhibition area for the innovations, technologies and products of the group divisions. This showroom is also said to be “very valuable” for the training of customers and employees.
“An important part of the building is dedicated to research and product engineering,” explained CCO Joost ter Heerdt.
I like to think of it as a playground where our developers and engineers feel the liberty and opportunity to develop, create and test innovations. That is part of our DNA and the new building will facilitate and stimulate this even more.
The construction will start in mid-2021 and is estimated to take about a year to complete.
