Trotec's World Headquarters Certified GreenBuilding

Zero Energy
Trotec was awarded the GreenBuilding Certificate from the European Commission at an ÖNBG (Austrian Society for Sustainable Building) event. Trotec received this prestigious award for the new World Headquarters building, which opened in October 2013, in Marchtrenk, Austria.

Setting New Standards  
The building is categorized as a large-scale solar plant because the majority of the required energy is obtained from the sun. The solar energy is stored by means of ground storage, a buffer, and a fire water tank. The total power requirement is produced by the in-house photovoltaic plant. Another source of energy is the well water, which, according to the season, it is used for heating or cooling.

The GreenBuilding Program 
In 2005 the European Commission launched the GreenBuilding Programme (GBP). GreenBuilding is a voluntary program aimed at improving the energy efficiency of non-residential buildings in Europe.

The program encourages owners of non-residential buildings to take cost-effective measures by enhancing the energy efficiency of their building. Currently, 958 buildings are certified as GreenBuildings.

Texas Open House

In 2013 Trotec began expanding to meet the needs of our growing customer base in the US. In May, we opened a new US Headquarters in Canton, Michigan with more space and a large showroom it is the perfect location to showcase our product line, hold laser training classes, and most importantly house the US Trotec team.


This March the expansion continues. Last week we opened the doors to  our newest US facility in Arlington, Texas. Our Texas facility provides customers and potential customers a Southwest location where they can visit to see and test Trotec laser systems, participate in training courses, and work with a local representative.


The Open Hose was a great success. We had old and new customers from Texas and surrounding states join us to celebrate the new facility as well as take advantage of exclusive event deals! 

We would like to thank everyone for joining us and we look forward to seeing you again soon!
