AV Stumpfl has invested more than 7 million Euro. The official opening took place on 30-31 October 2015 and attended by local dignitaries and technology partners.

Part of the celebrations saw the new Campus transformed into a giant theme park showing 270-degrees panoramic projections, 3D mapping onto a Porsche Macan vehicle and projection mapping onto the fa ade of a giant replica of Wasserschloss Parz, a nearby 16th century historic castle. These interactive displays acted to welcome and excite guests as well as to show them a taste of what's to come in AV Stumpfl's future product pipeline.

The Campus is part of our growth strategy, which will create many jobs in Austria by the end of 2015.
