New work concepts

Pioneering spirit in the office

Aligned with the company value of pioneering spirit, edding AG is always in pursuit of new, more efficient solutions, even amidst the pandemic. In response to social distancing measures, edding implemented home working and desk sharing at the start of 2021.

Over time, this approach unveiled considerable savings potential. With the changed office usage, edding was able to temporarily shut down four buildings in 2022, thus reducing energy costs.

"Introducing desk.ly was a real game-changer for our workday—especially the powerful features and intuitive interface make all the difference."
