The staff

Optimum customer satisfaction cannot be achieved without the satisfaction of our staff, and as a company goal this has a high priority. Team spirit, flexibility, opportunities for personal development and fairness combined with a conscious workplace design result in job satisfaction.

The building

Each building is unique at its site. In 1976 Leopold Kaufmann, the architect, designed the new company building at the Kohlgrub for brothers Elmar and Konrad Dorner. Under the general management of Andreas Dorner, 25 years later, the building has been expanded upwards according to Hermann Kaufmann’s plans in response to changing requirements. These are the origin for the new building’s characteristics.

The long shape with its plain and simple exterior is located between Ach and green zoned land, and with its car park (which is divided by maple trees) creates the end of the street. The new, slightly overhanging upper floor with its horizontally oriented wood paneling creates a contrast to the existing Eternit wall panels. The "green wall", a box hedge with shade bed, along the edge of the building creates the indoor/outdoor flow

The inside rooms are divided primarily according to optimum functional processes. The increased space requirements was neccesitated by positive development of the company, which, at its core, results in an open plan office with integrated project workplaces, expanded by light office and training rooms. The work atmosphere desired by the principal has the aim of encouraging open communication. In everyday working life, the staircase around the vertical main axis has effectively developed into an "open space". The architecture consequently reflects a democratic and not hierarchical company structure. The significance of the building is in its wide expansion into the physical, cultural and company-philosophical environment. The implementation of an innovative architecture in a traditional environment fits well with the company's image.

The corporate designn

For many years, Atelier Reinhard Gassner has been responsible for Dormer Electronic’s corporate image. All communicated contents are included in a visible and connecting bracket: from the company logo, brochures and digital visualizations, to interior design items. Modular furniture guarantees flexible use and always maintains its good form. The exposure to contemporary art is an ongoing process.
