After more than two years of construction, the Power Cube, is now complete. The multifunctional building combines a parking garage with 650 parking spaces, 120 new office workspaces, a 1,000 m² roof garden, a gym, and a studio. The building also offers space for a hairdresser with a beauty salon, a physiotherapy practice, and a restaurant.

All available outdoor areas are equipped with photovoltaic panels and contribute to making our company energy self-sufficient. In the spirit of sustainability, more green spaces were created than were built on during the construction of the Power Cube. The Bee-O Lab was built on a flower meadow on the site of the former parking lot. As part of the Future Lab, the bionics station serves to teach schoolchildren about the connection between nature and technology.

Fill not only connects continents, but also buildings. With the construction of the "Future Tube," the bridge between the production halls and the Future Zone becomes a reality, and at the same time an imposing "landmark" for the Gurten community is created.

The newly built “Fill Future Zone” is a center for digitalization, research, and development. It offers space for series production and the latest development projects across all competence centers. Apart from its extraordinary architecture – a mixture of Star Trek and hip industrial design – no compromises were made in terms of indoor climate or acoustics with this construction project.

With the 140 m² "Future Lab", we have created a special kind of transgenerational think tank. Our intention is to make the Future Lab Europe's coolest knowledge factory for digital talent and innovative minds, a place where partners from industry and research can collaborate with educational institutions.

In 2018, the production areas are expanded by a further 5,000 m². A 5,000 m² photovoltaic system is installed on the roof of the new halls and provides enough power to cover around 25 percent of the requirements – a milestone in the field of environment and energy..

Plenty of space for all things new. The Customer and Innovation Center is completed in July 2016, just in time for the company’s 50th anniversary. A new reception area, two floors of offices in Technology Center 4, nine meeting and training rooms, as well as the generously extended restaurant area go a long way toward supporting Fill’s vision of offering the best workspaces. A particular highlight is the new “Future Dome” event center, which serves as a unique venue for different event formats.

In September, the "Planet Filli Future" childcare facility also opens its doors.At the end of 2016, around 700 people, including 60 apprentices in training, are doing a great job at the machine engineering company.

By now, Fill has established itself as a technology and innovation leader in casting technology, decoring and wood bandsaw technology, as well as ski and snowboard production machines. The international automotive and aerospace industries become major sources of contracts. With an export rate of 90 percent, the company does business all around the world and in 2014 it establishes sales and service subsidiaries in China and Mexico.

For our 40th birthday, we are treating ourselves to a new corporate identity and a new credo. “Technology of the future” becomes “Fill – your future.”

In addition to the modern brand image and a new website, the new buildings for the Technology and Innovation Center and Hall 5 are the main features of 2006. Apprentices also receive even better training in the new 200 m² training workshop.

The new restaurant and the 160 m² fitness room are absolute highlights for employees. Once all construction work has been completed, the entire building complex will offer space for around 450 people.

In the year 2000, Andreas Fill takes over the reins of Fill Gesellschaft m.b.H. from his father Josef and manages the company together with Wolfgang Rathner from then on. A strategic realignment follows, along with revision of the corporate philosophy and visionary goals, such as becoming the world’s number one in casting technology and creating the best workplaces.

All issues relating to the Industry 4.0 project are already covered in the defined research focus areas: life-cycle calculation, automatic code generation, development of easy-to-use machines, virtual commissioning, and much more besides.

In the early 1990s, the first systems for casting and machining aluminum components are produced for a foundry in Linz. Development of the SWINGMASTER decoring system subsequently opens the doors to the international foundry industry for Fill. Thanks to its new-found expertise in casting technology, further orders follow from the automotive industry.

In Design Engineering, drawing boards are replaced with CAD software. Computer technology finds its way into every company department. Alongside the manufacturing of production machines for the timber and ski industries, the company now gains access to the automotive industry. In collaboration with a German corporation, Fill develops mold carriers (presses) to produce interior parts for the automotive industry and successfully launches them on the market.

It seems like a minor revolution when the first Commodore computer enters into service in 1975. Even then, the company demonstrates its pioneering role, and the workforce grows in line with the order situation. In 1986, 117 employees generate sales of 82 million Schillings (around 6 million euros).
