Highest ecological standards and room for about 1,200 employees: those were the requirements for the new headquarters of the Dutch-British Unilever company group on the Hamburg quay. The company moved into the headquarters in June 2009. After a three-year planning period, these requirements were implemented through the sole use of LEDs as a light source and the installation of energy-efficient ventilation and fire protection components of TROX .

The architectonic concept that is oriented strictly on the standards of sustainable construction was developed by Behnisch Architekten from Stuttgart. With a special energy concept, the new office building fulfils the ecological requirements of the coming decades. The winning of the Bex Award 1 emphasizes how important the implementation of energy-efficient requirements will be in future.

For TROX, the participation in the construction of this highlight of HafenCity Hamburg was an important project. "We are pleased that our technology has been able to contribute to the realisation of this ecologically pioneering office building", Lutz Reuter, Managing Director of TROX, says about the project.

Air terminal devices, shut-off dampers, volume flow controllers, fire dampers, multileaf dampers, sound attenuators, external weather louvres, and other components of TROX were used in the Unilever headquarters.
