Administration building Blickle

Founded in 1953, the rich in tradition family business Blickle Räder + Rollen GmbH und Co KG is the worldwide leading producer of wheels and castors today. With the extension of the administration building including the Blickle Experience Center with its test track and the company restaurant S‘RÄDLE, the company responds to the positive sales balance of the past years and the resulting demand for more staff and additional space. The architectural office Schmelzle+Partner based in Freudenstadt was responsible for planning the new administration building. The interior design was developed by GEPLAN DESIGN.

The extension of the administration building combined with the also newly built Polyurethan production marks the highest investment in the company’s history. This lighthouse project is backed by a clear entrepreneurial attitude: “We continue to bet on the Rosenfeld location and create capacities for the future,” says David Blickle, Member of the Management. As many as 900 of the total number of 1,200 Blickle employees work in the industrial park Dornbrunnen. With the new administration building, Blickle is creating round about 200 to 250 new jobs on a total area of 13,000 m².

In its designs, the architectural office Schmelzle+Partner made reference to the products of the company, which played an important role both in terms of creativity and function. Thus, the planners realized the reception area with the company restaurant and the Blickle Experience Center as a circular building which is located in front of the administration building. Also in the interior, GEPLAN DESIGN made reference to the theme wheels and castors and realized in the various areas in many variations and very creatively.
