New headquarters for Guardian
The new European headquarters of the company leader in the manufacture of finished products in glass was inaugurated Wednesday.
Last summer, Guardian Industries, the leading company in the manufacture of finished glass products, has established its European headquarters in the industrial zone of Bourmicht in Bertrange. Wednesday, the building of 2100 m² was inaugurated in presence of some officials and the Minister of Economy, Stephen Schneider.
According Guus Boekhoudt, Vice President Europe, 120 people work in the building. It includes, among others, marketing, finance, legal and taxation. In all, the company employs in the Grand Duchy between 700 and 720 people, divided between headquarters and factories and Bascharage Dudelange.
"It is important to separate the seat factories," said Guus Boekhoudt. The finished glass products for the automotive (eg windscreen) represent "less than 10% of our business," said Vice President Europe. "The majority of business relates to the residential and commercial premises," he said.
