New ELEA Headquarters and PEF Test Center in Quakenbrück

Only a few hundred meters from the old site, Elea will relocate to Quakenbrück in April 2025 for its new headquarters and PEF test center. The structure will include a systems showroom, a components warehouse, a conference and seminar space, and cutting-edge lab and pilot hall facilities.

The roof was recently installed, which made it the ideal occasion to celebrate “Richtfest” (the English term for a topping-out ceremony). It is a custom in Germany to do such after a building's shell is finished. A “Richtkrone” (English for topping-out crown) will be hung on the building's roof as part of the celebration. Elea could have not just one, but two topping-out crowns ceremoniously placed, thanks to our collaboration partners at DIL Engineering GmbH.

ELEA Managing Director Stefan Toepfl and the Major of the Joint Municipality Artland, Michael Buergel, welcomed about 75 participants and visitors. They also discussed ELEA's growth into the top PEF technology provider and provided an outlook for upcoming events.

“We are grateful to the team of architects and structural engineers around the Architecture office of Andreas Küpker and all the local building companies and craftsmen involved, without whom the quick construction of the new building would not have been possible!”, ELEA representatives recently announced.
