New tenants are joining the vibrant community of the Equilibrium 2 building, marking a significant step in diversifying the Equilibrium complex, a modern business hub located in the Barbu Văcărescu-Floreasca area.
Henkel, a global leader in both industrial solutions and consumer goods (hair care & personal care products, detergents, laundry & home care products, adhesives, sealing and functional coatings), is relocating its operations to the second building of the Equilibrium complex, confirming its attractiveness for companies in various fields of activity and with complex requirements. With iconic brands such as Ceresit, Loctite, Persil, Bref, Schwarzkopf and Syoss, Henkel has a history spanning over 145 years, driven by a vision focused on innovation and sustainability.
The transaction was facilitated by iO Partners, an experienced real estate partner, and the new tenants are expected to complete their relocation by the third quarter of 2025.
"Equilibrium 2 is more than just an office space; it's a place where companies can grow, collaborate, and develop in harmony," says Tamara Guleryuz, Leasing & Asset Manager at Skanska. "We are delighted that Henkel has chosen to join our community. This decision reaffirms our strengths, which include our expertise and experience, our commitment to sustainability, effective collaboration and communication, and our focus on safety. Henkel's move enhances Equilibrium 2's diverse tenant mix and significantly contributes to building a sustainable community grounded in shared ESG principles," adds Tamara Guleryuz. "We are excited about this partnership and look forward to working closely with Henkel on this wonderful journey."
“We are convinced that the new headquarters will stimulate collaboration, creativity and innovation, will induce a sense of well-being and a sense of belonging to the Henkel culture and values and will also offer all Henkel employees in Bucharest multiple functional benefits, in a modern workspace, which reflects current and future trends, including the ones in the field of sustainability, a very important one for our company.
The arrangement will be made in line with the concept „Smart Work” used by Henkel in all its locations around the world, which offers an attractive working environment with café and social spaces, meeting and projection rooms, collaboration area, quiet area, informal spaces and pays special attention to light quality, noise level and ergonomics.
I believe all these things will increase employees' motivation to come to the office and make Henkel a much more attractive employer - says Andrei Dumitrescu, The President of Henkel Romania.
