Ambitious plans for global growth have resulted in the opening of the AV Stumpfl Campus. The campus accommodates growing staff numbers within the company. AV Stumpfl has invested more than 7m Euro. The official opening took place on 30-31 October 2015 and was attended by local dignitaries and technology partners.
Part of the celebrations saw the new campus transformed into a giant theme park showing 270-degrees panoramic projections, 3D mapping onto a Porsche Macan vehicle and projection mappingonto the façade of a giant replica of Wasserschloss Parz, a nearby 16th century historic castle. These interactive displays acted to welcome and excite guests as well as to show them a taste of what's to come in AV Stumpfl's future product pipeline.
Located in Wallern, Northern Austria, the campus provides room for growth, manufacturing expansion and support to AV Stumpfl's growing partner base.
