In the immediate vicinity of the “Blautopf” company restaurant, the new training center for TRUMPF, a company specializing in manufacturing technology, was completed in 2023. Both buildings share a polygonal geometry and their wood hybrid construction; as an ensemble, they will form the social center of TRUMPF headquarters in Ditzingen. The building, with two stories above ground, has a partial basement, linking it to the existing circulation tunnel system of the TRUMPF campus. Continue reading Barkow Leibinger

TRUMPF’s corporate campus in Schramberg, northeast of Freiburg im Breisgau, has been growing steadily for over twenty years. With more than 1,400 employees, it is now the company’s second-largest location, after its headquarters in Ditzingen, Germany. In line with Barkow Leibinger’s master plan for the current and future expansion of the site, a first extension building was completed in 2000, followed by a new Development Center for Laser Technology in 2013 and a Production Building in 2017. As the latest component of this plan, a new multifunctional Tech Center has been in operation since March 2023, combining various uses under its roof: laboratories, offices, and conference areas, as well as a large campus restaurant that seats 400 guests. Due to the topography of the site and the laboratories’ special requirements, a significant portion of the allocated space has been built underground or into the sloping terrain. Only the two upper floors are visible from the main entrance, giving visitors a glimpse of the symbolic tip of an architectural “iceberg” as they approach. In total, the new building comprises four levels with an area of more than 14,000 square meters. Continue reading Barkow Leibinger

Trumpf’s Hungary “Smart Factory” is site-specific and located in Gödöllö in an ubiquitous industrial park in the outskirts of Budapest and for servicing Eastern Europe. Like the Trumpf’s Smart Factory outside of Chicago it offers a more modestly scaled “factory/ showroom” to demonstrate Industry 2.0 where Trumpfs’s machine tools are digitally and physically connected. Customers can experience the complete production chain from custom sheet metal forming to construction by their machines to delivery. This Smart Factory follows its own logic in terms of construction and techtonic resolution in reaction to site and place (building culture) in a refined and unique way typical to all Trumpf factories and buildings outside of its headquarters in Stuttgart.

After its beginning in the late 1960s as a factory with production halls and office buildings along the autobahn A81, over the course of the past decades, TRUMPF has developed into a successful high-tech corporation with a future-oriented campus for innovation and industry. It has evolved into an industrial village. In addition to production and administration buildings, there is also a training center, a daycare center, various event spaces for food, music, lectures, or parties, gardens and parks for rest and relaxation, a parking garage with spaces for electric vehicles and bikes, and now a new fitness and sports center.
