An immersive visitor experience

Hager Forum is designed to become a powerful catalyst for corporate development: a place that brings together a diversity of ideas, people and experiences.

Back to the Future

Hager Forum takes visitors on a gripping journey through time, starting with the company’s history, moving on to present solutions and finally a view of the future, with R&D and design. Most importantly, however, the building is designed to become a powerful catalyst for corporate development: a place that brings together a diversity of ideas, people and experiences and a place where new and innovative concepts and products are created.

"Hager Forum will support innovation, knowledge transfer and entrepreneurial spirit at and across all levels of our organisation." Daniel Hager, Hager Group CEO.

A journey to the company roots

The Hager Forum experience starts in the basement where visitors can immerse themselves in the history of Hager Group. A large chronological table spanning more than seven metres and featuring historical pictures from the 50s, glass cabinets and historical artefacts takes visitors back to the company’s founding years. The story continues in the Force Field, a presentation space equipped with a large tripod-shaped installation and with state-of-the-art multimedia technology.

An immersive and emotive show experience introduces visitors to the group’s essential values and its character, telling the story of how, within the space of almost 70 years, a small company run by only three people developed into a multinational, family-run company with more than 12,100 employees.

Welcome to the here and now

Hager Forum presents Hager Group’s current product and solution portfolio for the private and commercial sectors, in the showrooms called Labs. The Hub, the central event space in Hager Forum, can be used for conferences, concerts and exhibitions with up to 400 participants. The event space thus offers an open and shared exchange platform for both Hager Group employees and visitors. The same is true for the café “Spark”, which is much more than just a well-equipped bistro: a meeting point, a retreat, a co-working space and a project room, because as we all know, great ideas don’t arise from being alone at our workplace.
