This transformative project forms a key component of Mobiliar’s 200th anniversary initiatives, which will include both major and minor projects commemorating the company’s rich history. 

The Campus Appenberg is envisioned as a dynamic center for innovation, lifelong learning, culture, and networking. Designed primarily to benefit Mobiliar’s esteemed employees and valued customers, the facility represents a strategic investment in the company’s corporate culture and long-term competitiveness.
