2024 was a year of incredible growth for Connex. We welcomed 10 new colleagues to our team and two more to our biogas partner, ConNRG. With this increase in talent, we outgrew our office on the 4th floor, so we moved up to a more spacious and vibrant workplace. We are excited to now call the 6th floor of De Van Nelle Fabriek our new home.
Daylight, innovation, and energy
Our new office at De Van Nelle Fabriek is more than just a workspace—it’s an inspiring location steeped in history. Built in the late 1920s, this UNESCO World Heritage site was once the Netherlands’ most modern factory and remains an industrial icon in Rotterdam. The building’s design, emphasizing natural light and open spaces, radiates innovation and energy—making it the perfect place for us to work towards accelerating the energy transition.
Work hard, Play hard
Moving to the 6th floor gave us the opportunity to create an office that’s flexible, functional, and welcoming. While maintaining the building’s original structure, layout, and sightlines, we designed a space that balances productivity with comfort.
Here’s what our new office has to offer:
– An excellent coffee machine to fuel great ideas
– Three light-filled, well-equipped meeting rooms
– Over 30 spacious workstations
– Three soundproof call booths
– A large communal lunch table with an open kitchen
– A playroom with billiards and ping pong table and, of course, our beloved football table
– Cozy breakout spots for informal chats
Sustainability and Well-being
In line with our commitment to sustainability, we applied the same principles to our office design. All our furniture was sourced from ROFA, a local manufacturer in Tilburg, and made from recycled materials and sustainable bamboo. Each workstation features stand-up desks to promote movement and prevent discomfort, while the office is filled with plants to enhance both well-being and air quality.
Our new space doesn’t just support our team’s growth; it also embodies our mission to make thoughtful, sustainable decisions at every level.
