New “Green” Office Building
In October 2016, company building VI was inaugurated.
The new structure follows the “green building” principle,
featuring excellent energy values and high environmental
compatibility. Groundwater-operated heating and cooling
ceilings replace standard radiators. Thus, there are
virtually no CO2 emissions from the new office complex.
Energy consumption is 30% below the legal requirements
of the German Energy Saving Regulation (EnEV). Triple

against the glare and heat from sunlight, also in windy

New Production Location in Dorfen headquarters in Oberschleissheim
At the end of October 2019, Schreiner Group opened its
new production location in Dorfen, in the Erding district
of Bavaria. Measuring nearly 5,000 square meters, the
production hall has an innovative air conditioning concept
that increases energy efficiency while simultaneously
contributing to employees’ well-being. The existing
lighting system was replaced with LED lamps, helping to
keep the plant’s energy consumption well below average
