Lighting and electronics specialist HELLA has invested in its Lippstadt headquarters with a new visitor, administrative and exhibition centre under construction close to the company’s historic headquarters.

HELLA CEO Dr. Rolf Breidenbach, commented, "The importance of our Lippstadt headquarters as a control centre for the global HELLA network and its respective responsibilities will further increase. So we must also create the space for this to happen."

The new visitor, administrative and exhibition centre will be constructed as an extension to the HELLA Globe, along the Rixbecker Strasse in Lippstadt. With a total area of 7,000 square metres, the new four storey-building will not only create state-of-the-art working conditions for 300 employees, but will also feature conference and training rooms, as well as an exhibition centre for customers and visitors.

With its new building, which will house mostly company functions and welcome many visitors, HELLA will continue the development and modernisation of its headquarters. The construction of the new centre is scheduled to start in the summer of 2018, with an anticipated opening expected for mid-2019.
