Mateco breaks ground on new HQ

German international rental group Mateco has started construction of an all new headquarters building on a five acre site in Leonberg, on the west side of Stuttgart.

The location is close to the crossroads of the East/West A8 - Karlsruhe to Munich autobahn and the North/South A81. It will feature a four storey office building which will be home to all employees involved with centralised services and administration. Employees working at the local Mateco branch will also move to the new site, with a new 1,700 square metre workshop/warehouse also being built.
