Scope Of Work
Rimowa, the world's premier manufacturer of ultra-lightweight yet super durable luggage, attachés and other cases shifted production from its existing Cambridge plant to this new, Canadian Head Office, Manufacturing Facility & Distribution Warehouse. The site, which includes a two storey office, houses all of the brand's current manufacturing lines in Canada and is home to over 130 employees. The new building houses the most advanced manufacturing technologies in Rimowa's history.
The outward appearance of the building was carefully designed and constructed to resemble their trademark luggage, including distinctive ridges and colour.
