Bitzer has announced plans to build a new corporate headquarters in Sindelfingen, Germany. The refrigeration compressor manufacturer says it is sticking with its roots and building a new headquarters close to its current head office just outside of Stuttgart, Germany.

Bitzer has decided to announce a call for tenders from architects. Company officials reported that this will ensure the company can choose the most suitable proposal from a range of options. In order to meet the required planning conditions, the city of Sindelfingen – in concert with Bitzer – is striving to amend the development plan. The future corporate headquarters are to be housed in a multi-story building with 16 to 18 floors, an adjacent semi-basement, and two underground car park levels. In the long term, Bitzer aims to create around 500 workstations for employees in the building.
