SCHNE IDER GMBH & CO. KG

Fascination for Innovation

SCHNEIDER is one of the world’s leading suppliers of

processing solutions to the ophthalmic and preci-

sion-optical industry.

The company is headquartered in Fronhausen (Mar-

burg) with additional branches in the USA, Brazil,

Hong Kong and Thailand.

The company’s success and that of their customers

is ensured by high-quality machines, innovative

technological concepts and networked production

solutions.

The fascination for innovation becomes tangible the

minute one enters the building at headquarters.

The company’s headquarters, on a floor space of

over 9500 m², is characterized by state of the art

climate and heating technology as well as commu-

nication and media technology, modern demonstra-

tion and training rooms and ergonomically optimized

workstations.

The resulting pleasant working climate allows em-

ployees to continue to provide excellent services for

the company’s customers.

The Task

People are the heart of a company, their commit-

ment is the heart beat. To encourage the enthusiasm

for innovation, emphasis was placed on a working

environment which meets the various needs. The

result is a unique building that promotes wellbeing

and creates space for new ideas.

The team offices are generously laid out and spa-

cious with a view of the outside grounds, but still

allow for privacy thanks to the layout

of the double workstations.

The furnishings – kept in white with black accents –

underline the friendly effect of the space.

The Asisto tables promote fluid working. The intel-

ligent integration of technology allows for an easy

reach of connections which can be stored neatly in

the cable trough.

The Orgatower, which was specially developed for

SCHNEIDER, offers space for working materials

which need to be readily available.

Many offices, also those of the divisional manage-

ment, can be used for spontaneous meetings in

addition to their function as workstation. Brief meet-

ings can be held at the mobile occasional tables.

They are also ideal for quickly extending the work

surfaces with flexible sit/stand solutions.

Flexible Use of Space

The motto “Fascination for Innovation” runs like a

red thread through the building. The multi-purpose

room on the ground floor was also planned with

great imagination. Like all areas in the company, it is

light and friendly and the parquet together with red

accent color create an attractive ambience.

It offers a particularly well thought-through confer-

encing solution. Depending on requirements, it can

be transformed from a space for a small meeting

into a large hall for presentations or special events.

The mobile walls ensure that the rooms can be made

smaller or bigger.

Here, the conference tables of the Cegano series

come into their full effect. They offer many options

for electrification. And thanks to their mobility, the

conference room can be restructured in a flash,

which saves time, for example if two events follow

each other in quick succession.

The Asisto fridge caddy is a versatile aid for your

catering requirements. It stores chilled drinks, cutlery

and crockery, and you can even connect a coffee

machine.

Where Ideas Take Shape

Design offices are think tanks.

At Schneider, this area was equipped with T 4000

Cegano sit/stand workstations.

Switching between sitting and standing promotes

concentrated and creative working and

naturally supports back health.

The Orgatowers are a special feature, which can be

individually equipped and change their position with

the tables.

They allow for easy access to work materials –

whether the table is set to sitting or standing height.

The Asisto cabinets complete the elegant appear-

ance and divide the room without taking away

from the generous space. The layout of the cabinets

allows for a division of a workplace-oriented and

generally accessible storage room.

Team meetings and video conferences take place

in a relaxed environment which encourages mutual

inspiration and impulses. The Asisto conference ta-

bles support the ease of working through their lean

optics as well as the easy access to technology.

From Production to the Canteen

SCHNEIDER’s exciting and unique project

of course included a harmonious interior design,

which was thought out to the smallest detail.

C+P equipped many areas with the appropriate

interior furnishings.

One example is the “pedestal garage”, in cutting

edge design. These temporary workstations are

intended for SCHNEIDER Service employees around

the world. Employees can take their personal rolling

pedestal to the workstations or “park” them until

their next use.

The large and beautiful canteen offers a relaxing

view of the outside area with a special “pool atmo-

sphere”. Here again, C+P contributed to the mood

with tables, chairs and bar stools.

The versatility of the C+P product portfolio

made it possible to realize the holistic concept of the

Schneider Management in terms of interior furnish-

ing from one source.
