QNAP® Systems, Inc., a leading computing, networking and storage solution innovator, today celebrates the inauguration of its new European headquarters building in Willich, Germany, close to the city of Düsseldorf. The building serves as the QNAP European head office, logistics hub and service center, boosting its operational capacity and reaffirming its commitment to the long-term development of its European operations. The building will be operated by QNAP GmbH, a QNAP company responsible for its European operations.

The building is a three-story construction consisting of modern office space, training facilities, a warehouse with a loading area, and a servicing area with electrostatic discharge (ESD) flooring. A Wi-Fi 6 network is available throughout the building with ultra-high-speed fiber optic backbones and additional wired data ports. A state-of-the-art security system is installed around the perimeter of the building. With this investment of over 11 million EUR, QNAP is able to consolidate its several European locations under the same roof, boosting efficiency for a better user experience across its distribution partners, users and employees.

"It was really impressive to be able to watch QNAP's new building as it 'grows' so quickly - and as mayor, I'm of course very happy that we, as the city of Willich, can be the proud location of such a promising, renowned and quality-conscious company," said Christian Pakusch, Mayor, City of Willich.

"As we continue to grow in the European market, QNAP takes one step further to fulfill our corporate social responsibility by making local investments and hiring more local talents," said Teddy Kuo, Chairman, QNAP Systems, Inc., adding: "this set the cornerstone for delivering a better user experience and the future development of QNAP."

During the construction, local authorities and many suppliers offered their assistance to expedite the completion of the new building amid COVID-19 and the overall material shortage. QNAP would like to take this opportunity to express its gratitude for the support it has received from all parties.
