New Headquarters for IIC-INTERSPORT International Corporation
10.07.2007 | The INTERSPORT Group, mainly active in Europe and Canada, has recently inaugurated its new headquarters.
INTERSPORT International Corp. (IIC) employs around 100 members of staff in Bern and around the same number of employees at its daughter company in Hong Kong and China. Over the last five years the number of employees at IIC has doubled from 50 to 100 persons and this was the driving factor behind building a new headquarters.
After a 13-month construction phase, IIC- INTERSPORT International Corp. (IIC) officially moved
into the new building. The new building is situated on a 7’785m2 lot of land, previously owned by
the county of Bern. The building has been designed and constructed over 2’436m² of 6’392m² gross
floor area, providing future building extension possibilities of around 75% more than in use today.
The transparent two-storey building, designed and realised by Bernese architect, Rolf
Mühlethaler, is light and elegant and blends in harmoniously with its surrounding environment; the
sobering industrial area on the one side and the large park belonging to the Waldau clinic on the
other.
The new building offers IIC the modern office spaces and infrastructure, befitting of a
modern international corporate headquarters and its requirements.
With retail sales of over EURO 8.3 billion and over 4'900 affiliated sporting goods retailers
in 33 countries, the INTERSPORT Group maintains its position as the worldwide leading Sporting
Goods Retailer.
