AustriaAustriaCompany Name: Thanner GmbH

Project description

Directly behind Vienna’s new central station, the newly built five-star hotel scores with its location at one of the city’s main transport hubs.

Contractor

Thanner GmbH

Founded in 1987, the Vösendorf-based company, which has been managed by Daniel Thanner since 2008, now employs around 30 people all year round. Due to seasonal factors, the team sometimes increases up to a total of 80 employees. Flexibility, perfection and individuality characterise the philosophy of Thanner GmbH. The focus of the company is on drywall construction, while its competence in the areas of sound insulation, fire protection and special solutions deserves special attention. In drywall construction, no soaking building materials such as concrete or plaster are required for the construction of the components, which results in considerable time and cost savings in the interior design and thus also for the entire construction project.
