The workshop where machinery for Ferrero manufacturing sites is built is placed on the ground floor together with all the operations related to their design. On the other hand, the upper floor is almost entirely dedicated to executive and operational offices, work spaces, conference rooms and staff areas. It is the result of a competition launched in 2017; at that time, Ferrero needed to bring together the company&#8217;s engineering operations with those of the workshop, where machinery destined for production is pre-assembled and tested.<\/p>\n<h3><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-171473 aligncenter\" src=\"http:\/\/www.designdiffusion.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/FDG_FerreroTechnicalCenter-PhStudioCampo_14.jpg\" alt=\"Ferrero Technical Center\" width=\"1200\" height=\"1043\" \/><\/h3>\n<h3>Ferrero Technical Center, an example of Slow Architecture<\/h3>\n<p>The Ferrero Technical Center is an example of <strong>Slow Architecture<\/strong>.

Moreover, it is a <strong>bioclimatic and nearly Zero Energy Building (nZEB)<\/strong>, capable of minimizing carbon dioxide emissions.
