Modern offices with 300 fully equipped workstations, inspiring open plan areas and meeting rooms offer plenty of space for creative collaboration and exchange. In the Innovation Lab, product developers and engineers work on the latest technical inventions. But the rest of the Canyon crew can contribute ideas here, too. The Innovation Lab is designed to leverage the curiosity, cycling enthusiasm and knowledge of the entire Canyon crew as an engine of innovation.
When constructing the new building, Canyon relied on the latest energy and climate standards, thus fulfilling its claim to understand sustainability as a holistic and company-changing issue. The heating system is equipped with air/heat pumps, which draw heat from the ambient air with the support of a photovoltaic system and introduce it into the building. Three generously dimensioned ventilation systems have a heat recovery heat exchanger. The highest energy standards are also applied to other Canyon locations around the world: for example, all Canyon locations in Germany and the USA are supplied with electricity from 100% renewable sources.
Promote employee well-being and strengthen the Canyon spirit
At Canyon.HQ, the focus is also on the well-being of the employees and on strengthening the Canyon spirit. In the large, modern staff bistro, regional organic products are used for cooking. The subsidized vegetarian and vegan meals are restaurant quality. The bistro itself is designed as a meeting place: in a relaxed atmosphere, employees from different departments meet for a casual exchange over breakfast, lunch or coffee. The conversations and nurturing of the Canyon spirit continue at the weekly employee after-work rides, where the latest models from the staff bike pool can be tested on the road and trails.
Around 1.400 employees currently work at the corporate locations in Koblenz (Germany) and Amsterdam (The Netherlands) as well as in Carlsbad (USA) and at 14 international partner companies in Europe and worldwide. The new Canyon.HQ is located in Koblenz next to the Canyon showroom, where visitors from all over the world can experience Canyon bikes and equipment up close. More Canyon experience and customer service is also available in the Carlsbad (California, USA) showroom and at the factory service location in Belgium.
