Plenty of room for new ideas

The new Trotec Building

There are times when you just have to think big: Driven mainly by the success of our dynamic expansion over the past years, we have managed to get on board a lot of great people here at Trotec. But to be honest, it was starting to get a little bit overcrowded recently…

There was no way that we could ignore it any longer: our traditional headquarters at Grebbener Strasse 7 was bursting at the seams. Especially in the course of our internationalization and the consecutive entering of the French, Turkish, Polish and Chinese markets, the number of employees has grown immensely. The extension of our premises was therefore inevitable – after all, we still have big plans for the future! So we were thrilled to hear that the building next door was going to be substantially refurbished in response to the increased demand for room. By now, the construction work is almost completed and most of our colleagues have already moved into their new workplace.

And, what should I say… it was worth waiting for! The new building is not only very smart and modern; it also leaves a lot of room for further development and creativity.

So watch this spot for what comes next…

Trotec Certified as Trusted Shop

Online buying is big business. The internet has become a global marketplace and the magnitude and diversity of the products which the internet has to offer is quite simply staggering.

Whereas the consumers of yesteryear flocked to the high streets or congregated in droves in shopping malls to hunt for a bargain and compare prices, today’s cybershoppers have a more modern approach to shopping and savour the benefits of being able to order the articles they wish to purchase from a wide range of products from the comfort – and safety – of their homes.

But just how safe are they?

Internet fraud has many guises and the number of websites designed solely with the intention of scamming buyers who think that they are on to a good bargain has rocketed. The number of people who have lost money on purchases made over the internet because they have placed their trust in the wrong company and fallen victim to one of countless different scams has risen steadily over the years and now runs into the millions.

Scams like retail fraud whereby a buyer pays for goods which never arrive or identity theft whereby unwitting buyers who have been baited with mouthwatering bargains supply the devious fraudsters with sensitive information including credit card codes or bank details which can later be used to carry out purchases in their name. This scam is especially harrowing for those who have been scammed because the victims often have trouble convincing the companies and the debt collecting agencies involved that they did not receive the products which were bought in their name and are therefore often blacklisted or treated as criminals themselves.

How then is it possible to protect oneself against such criminal energy?

Both the Ministry of Justice and the consumer watchdog No.1 Stiftung Warentest recommend that you only buy online from product portals that are certified as belonging to Trusted Shops as these portals are checked and monitored in accordance with the rigorous Trusted Shops quality criteria and as such offer a high degree of customer protection. Protection against both retail fraud and credit card fraud. And a money-back guarantee as well as a contact person who will help you with any questions you have should you wish to return the goods you have bought.

So now there is nothing to stop you from visiting our website and buying one of the high-quality dehumidifiers, building dryers, fans or cutting-edge measuring devices designed especially for trade and industry, the construction industry or private and domestic use.

Buy online at the Trotec Shop and rest assured that your order will be processed quickly, reliably and efficiently and that your data will be protected against misuse and treated confidentially at all times.

This is not just a promise. It has been certified by the consumer protection agency “Trusted Shops” which awarded Trotec24. The Trusted Shop’s seal of approval making it one of over 7,000 selected online shops which have been checked according to the most stringent of standards!

Buy now at Trotec and benefit from our excellent service, certified quality and comprehensive safety standards.
