Nippon Seiki spreads its wings in Gdańsk

Ocean Network Express, a global container handling holding, opened its Central Service Center in Gdańsk. The new office is located in the Argon building, part of the Alchemia office complex. 120 logistics and shipping experts already work in the new office. The deal was handled by Cushman & Wakefiled.

Some 1,500 runners and nearly 300 company relay teams reported to the starting line on 2 September, kicking off another edition of Gdańsk Business Run. Among them were three TORUS SQUADS. Competition was tough, but it did not eclipse the more important charitable cause of the event. According to the organisers, nearly 110,000 PLN was raised from entry fees alone. Torus was a co-organiser of the event.

On 9 August, Gdańsk Business Run on Wheels – a press conference chaired by Agnieszka Pleti from the Gdańsk Business Run Foundation – was held on the 7th floor of Alchemia’s ARGON building. Ms Pleti spoke about the Foundation’s mission, how business relay teams bring people together and about Corporate Social Responsibility done on many levels: participating in, organising and supporting the event.

Two women’s beach volleyball teams sponsored by TORUS have qualified for the 2018 Poland Beach Volleyball Championships. Świstek/Słonecka and Saad/Wawrzyńczyk have each competed in nine qualification tournaments, with the latter beating professional teams on more than one occasion. Our girls’ appetite for medals at the upcoming Poland championships could soon be satisfied – this year’s finals will take place in August-September in Kraków and nothing short of fierce competition is expected.

The Alchemia business complex is much more than modern office space – it offers a wide variety of restaurants and retail services.

Kids’ Day doesn’t always have to be on 1 June. We’ve set out to prove this and so, on 10 July, we organised a unique activity day for children in the ARGON building. The event allowed adults to spend some quality time with their kids and to meet some extraordinary and inspirational people. We’re certain that all participants had a chance to experience a brief but intensive sports adventure.  

Vorwerk Polska, vendor of the Thermomix® brand of premium kitchen appliances, has signed a lease agreement for 440 sq. m of office space in the ARGON building. It will be the company’s 27th office in Poland. The five-year lease agreement was mediated by the Walter Herz consulting company.

Marine Harvest, a global leader in salmon farming and processing, has officially opened its office in the ALCHEMA centre in Gdańsk. The ARGON building now hosts the company’s 2000 sq. m European headquarters and its growing operations centre. The lease transaction was mediated by the JLL consulting company.

Four beehives have been recently installed on top of the ARGON building, all populated by real-life honeybees. While the TORUS Beezzz project was our idea, more and more of our tenants want to see what the buzz is about!
