Stoll, a leading manufacturer of flat knitting machines and one of the largest Reutlingen-based companies, will relocate the company's headquarters from Stollweg 1, Reutlingen, to the industrial area of Reutlingen-Betzingen. The planned construction project is divided into two phases: in addition to the existing production buildings a development and customer centre will be built.

The architects ISIN + Co. from Stuttgart presented the most innovative ideas during an architectural competition and accompanied this project for the planning and construction phase.

For the first construction phase of the development centre, Stoll was able to commission the company Systembau Knecht Metzingen as a general contractor, while the company Reiner Schädler Bauunternehmung will take over the foundation and structural work.

With the symbolic groundbreaking ceremony on 26 July, the construction of the development centre, which will provide bright and modern conference rooms to hold about 70 employees, officially began. The company plans to open its development centre at the end of 2020.

In the second phase, a modern customer centre will be built on Adolf-Kolping-Street: an efficient building with conference rooms to hold about 100 employees. This building also offers space for the Stoll showroom and training centre. It is scheduled for the middle of 2021.

“Stoll is setting a standard with this construction project. As a result of the relocation, development, production and administration will be combined into one location after completion of the two buildings. The Stoll technology and innovation, proven for more than 145 years, will take us into a new era with a new headquarter base,” the company reports.
