Avira opens new company building at Tettnang
The new building perfectly embodies the company’s “live free” motto
Tettnang, Germany, April 6, 2011 – Today, after 16 months of construction, Avira celebrates the grand opening of its new corporate headquarters at Tettnang. The new building’s floor plan resembles the umbrella in the Avira logo and now has ample workspace for 320 employees. Its interior design promotes transparency and communication, thus perfectly reflecting the company’s “live free” motto. So far, the IT security company has invested close to US$ 25 million in this venture.
“Today is a very special day in our corporate history and I am proud that it coincides with our 25th anniversary,” says Tjark Auerbach, Avira’s founder and CEO. “Our ambition was to create an equally pleasant, productive, and inspiring work environment for our employees and I am convinced that the modern, transparent architecture of our new headquarters is the perfect answer to these requirements.”
Symbolic opening – connect not divideThe new building now unites the 12 separate local sites that Avira used to operate. Instead of opening the building with the usual red-ribbon cutting ceremony, Tjark Auerbach had something special in mind. Avira employees stuffed helium-filled balloons into two boxes and let them float towards the ceiling, thus creating two pillars in the building’s lobby that displayed the company’s core principles “Extreme Reliability” and “Personal Freedom” while perfectly symbolizing the new building’s support pillars.
The project was financed by company resources and a loan from the KfW Bankengruppe, provided by Sparkasse Bodensee. The second and final construction phase has already started and will add another 50,000 square feet to the building complex, bringing it to a total of 155,000 square feet. The move-in-date is scheduled for early 2012. The second construction phase will cost US$ 12 million.
