In early September, most of the teams from L’Horme and Lorette moved into their offices in the new headquarters, H3, after 17 months of construction. The site was designed by Eutopia and features three buildings with three floors each, covering more 5,000 m², on a park-like campus of 31,000 m².

“An optimized quality of life at work”
“This new complex was designed to provide employees with an optimized quality of life at work, with more space for meeting and discussion,” explains Stéphane Hubert, the group’s CSO. The three buildings were named after the group’s sales zones: Europe-Africa, Americas, and Asia-Pacific. These buildings feature a number of formal and informal working spaces: office spaces in a range of different sizes, multimedia meeting rooms, spaces for relaxation, a large cafeteria, a beautiful green patio, etc.

Business center and training center
H3 takes it one step further with a business center, where the Group’s international employees and customers can meet and hold meetings and events. This is also where the Haulotte Academy, its professional training center, has set up shop. Finally, “we created a 3,000 m² covered area specifically for innovation and prototypes,” says Patrice Métairie, COO Industry. This space includes a testing and validation center. “With a collaborative e-lab and, soon, a fablab, it will enable us to develop the equipment and services of the future,” he adds. It also includes a demonstration showroom for customers and Haulotte’s teams.
