GKN Hydrogen are pioneers in the development of green hydrogen storage systems. The new company headquarters in Pfalzen is home to the Technology Development and Production, Research and Development, Engineering and all supporting departments. The existing commercial building in the craftsmen’s zone was gutted and adapted to the needs of the start-up. In addition to a garage and three production halls, a modern office landscape with 65 workstations was also created. Great importance was attached to the GKN Hydrogen Brand Manual in terms of color and design. Thus, carpeting and furniture in the colors fresh green and bright blue and curved, soft shapes define the two office floors. A mix of open office landscapes, individual offices, conference boxes, meeting rooms and communal areas complete the new technology center.
