On Saturday, May 13, we opened the doors of the recently expanded headquarters and logistics center in Elburg. All employees showed friends and family members around the entire premises. The turnout was very high, which underscored the commitment and interest in Antar Shoe.
Bergstein pavilion
The family day generated a stream of enthusiastic responses. The activities were diverse and suitable for all ages. The Bergstein Pavilion was set up for the youngest guests. With a magician making balloon creations, a coloring contest and, of course, some goodies to snack on, there was more than enough entertainment.
Tours
Visitors were impressed during tours of the premises. Here they learned about the brands that Antar Shoe imports and distributes. The tour kicked off in the Antar Shoe coffee corner with information about the organization. The best-selling models per brand were highlighted. The order process was visualized from A to Z with a video. A nice overview of all the steps we take as a team between an order in the B2B webshop to loading the order into the truck. The photo walls gave a glimpse into 20 years of staff parties and outings.
Activities
Onthe sunny Ipanema terrace, a video showed how a pair of slippers from Brazil arrives at its destination in Antar Shoe's logistics center. The cozy Hot Potatoes living room was a great success because of the photo-mirror. In the Grisport corner we showed how technical a hiking boot actually is, all 83 parts of a hiking boot were displayed. In this world of hiking and mountain climbing, visitors could go up the climbing wall, it was occupied all afternoon, which of course says enough.
New Building
Antar Shoe employees proudly showed off Antar Shoe to family members and friends on this day. The newly opened company canteen, newly built logistics hall and the new office spaces provided a perfect occasion for this. Visitors were impressed by the efficiency and organized processes within Antar Shoe.
In keeping with the convivial atmosphere of Antar Shoe and its employees, the tour ended with snacks and drinks. The evening continued with all staff members and partners, a moment to officially inaugurate the cafeteria yet another festive occasion.
We look back on a more than successful Antar Shoe family day.
