Schmidt, a company based in Austria’s Innviertel region, has not only established itself as a major employer in the area but has also made a name for itself through its commitment to marketing and branding. Having been named “Employer of the Year” on several occasions, the company places great importance on the satisfaction and well-being of its staff. As part of an extensive building renovation in Ried im Innkreis, the outstanding project “Die Flaumerie” was created – a stylish lounge area with a high-quality terrace canopy for sun protection, designed equally for staff and customers. The combination of open architecture, a pleasant indoor climate and a weatherproof sun sail – i.e. sun protection – creates a new favourite spot within the company – usable all year round and visually seamlessly integrated.
