Company introduction:
IMCD Group is a world leader in the sale, marketing, and distribution of specialty chemicals, with annual revenues exceeding EUR four billion. In Italy, the Group’s subsidiary IMCD Italia SpA develops bespoke solutions for use in coatings and construction, food and nutrition, and beauty and personal care products.
Challenge:
After relocating to a new headquarters in Milan, IMCD Italia aimed to create a workplace that reflected its core values, such as innovation, sustainability, and inclusion. To achieve this, the company wanted to design new workspaces and to implement a technology infrastructure that would support agile hybrid working, help employees to collaborate, and offer visitors an engaging, dynamic experience.
Solution and benefits:
To create the new work environment, IMCD Italia engaged Ricoh Italy to design new meeting rooms and collaborative workspaces. The new rooms feature flexible, user-friendly technologies, such as interactive whiteboards, videoconferencing systems, and other communications solutions to support hybrid working sessions and drive productivity and efficiency. In addition, Ricoh helped IMCD transform an otherwise simple corridor into a space for video presentations that offers visitors and employees an immersive, enriching experience.
“Ricoh created a highly practical, innovative workspace with common areas that facilitate the exchange of ideas, and where people feel encouraged to be creative and to think outside the box. The new development was much appreciated by employees, and we received extremely positive feedback.”
