September 9, 2024Our New Home in Kai Tak/Hong Kong
September 9, 2024Last week, we marked a significant milestone with the grand opening of our new office in Kai Tak, the vibrant heart of sports in Hong Kong. This state-of-the-art space will be the new home for our Global Sourcing and Local Commercial Teams, providing a modern and inspiring environment for our most valuable asset: our people. And what better way to bring this office to life than with a traditional celebration together with our CEO, CSO, other leaders and trusted suppliers? Here are some highlights from the event.
On September 2nd, the festivities kicked off with a Townhall meeting. Our CEO, Arne Freundt, along with CSO Anne-Laure Descours and Indy Sen, shared exciting news and updates. Over 250 members of the PUMA family gathered to celebrate and engage with our leaders. Arne addressed a variety of questions from our Hong Kong team, covering topics from sales forecasts and career growth to experiences at the Paris PUMA House.
A Spectacular Start
The opening ceremony began with a ribbon-cutting, symbolizing a fresh start for our new office. This was followed by a traditional Chinese Lion Dance parade, a vibrant display that brought good fortune and prosperity to PUMA. The lions even visited our workstations, spreading blessings and adding a touch of cultural flair to the day. To keep the energy high, PUMA Fam and guests enjoyed delicious treats throughout the event.
A Gathering of Partners
We were honored to host over 50 external guests, including suppliers and business partners. It was a wonderful opportunity for the PUMA family to reconnect with those they work closely with. The cheers and joyful faces added a bright and colorful atmosphere to the celebration.
Our New Home in Kai Tak
Our new PUMA office is strategically located in the center of Kai Tak, a former airport site that has been transformed into a bustling commercial and sports hub. This prime location perfectly aligns with our mission to push sports and culture forward. With its close proximity to the Kai Tak Sports Park, a premier venue for international sports events and a training ground for Hong Kong’s top athletes, our new office is set to soar to new heights.
