Lange &amp; S\u00f6hne\u2019s new manufactory building.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>At the end of August, A. Lange &amp; S\u00f6hne officially opened new manufactory building. The complex provides a highly advanced and optimised working environment for the traditional craft of watchmaking. The ground-breaking ceremony took place on 5 September 2012. Just under three years later, on 26 August 2015, the new complex was opened by German Chancellor Dr. Angela Merkel and Saxony\u2019s Prime Minister Stanislaw Tillich. The Chancellor gave thanks to Lange\u2019s employees for their dedication. Addressed to the 91-year-old refounder Walter Lange, she said: \u201cThe new beginning was not easy, but you and your companions succeeded in securing the manufactory\u2019s top-tier position among the world\u2019s finest watch brands once again. Eastern Germany\u2019s good reputation as innovative, flexible and modern location is based on success stories like yours.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Even Saxony\u2019s Prime Minister Stanislaw Tillich commended the watchmaking company\u2019s innovative spirit: \u201cA. Lange &amp; S\u00f6hne is a world-famous brand rich in tradition. It has always preserved its myth \u2013 against all odds. Now, with the new building begins another successful chapter \u2013 with much space for tradition and modernity.\u201d <\/p>\n<p>The new building with its 5400-square-metre production area is an urban landmark at the southern gateway to the town of Glash\u00fctte. With its bright and clearly structured facade, the complex harmoniously blends in with its historic architectural surroundings. Slightly inclined, large-format atelier windows assure ample lighting at the workstations. The ultra-modern workshops mean that the watchmakers can enjoy virtually dust-free conditions. The double-skin walk-in facade has a climate-control function. The machines and other equipment used to manufacture movement parts are located in the lower-slung front part of the building. Several departments in which small components are manually engraved and decorated will also be housed in the new building.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe new building is a response to employment growth in recent years and represents an investment in the manufactory\u2019s future,\u201d said Lange CEO Wilhelm Schmid. \u201cThe focus,\u201d he added, \u201cwas on a modern, energy-efficient building that would offer appealing surroundings and ideal working conditions. This will help us further enhance the quality of our watches and optimise our production processes. All the while, we strive to minimise our ecological footprint and resource consumption.\u201d <\/p>\n<p>Accordingly, the new building is a testament to sustainable architecture and innovative energy management. Saxony\u2019s largest geothermal energy plant \u2013 with 55 downhole heat exchangers extending to a depth of as much as 125 metres \u2013 keeps the indoor climate pleasant throughout all four seasons. The electricity needed to operate the pumps is green. Thus, the new Lange manufactory is a CO2-free facility that makes an important contribution to climate change mitigation.<\/p>\n<p>The investment was a double-digit amount in millions of euros. This makes the project A. Lange &amp; S\u00f6hne\u2019s biggest investment ever and underscores the company\u2019s commitment to Glash\u00fctte as a production site.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>German Chancellor Dr. Angela Merkel and Saxony\u2019s Prime Minister Stanislaw Tillich travelled to Glash\u00fctte to inaugurate A.
