Sonja Kunz, Executive Assistant at Galaxus, said the company simply required more space. "We want to offer all our employees sufficient space for their work and for e.g., spontaneous meetings." The new location in the "My Falkenried" complex and the underground train link should make it easier for employees to commute and increase flexibility. The new headquarters include 62 workstations, state-of-the-art offices, meeting and social rooms and a roof terrace. The building also meets all the latest sustainability standards, which was a key factor in the decision to relocate.
