Te Lintelo Systems is moving to their new office location Mercurion 26A – september 1st 2020
Te Lintelo System did move, back to Mercurion 26 A!
After a complete rework of the building, with changes made especially for Te Lintelo System, we are able to move into the ground floor of our building. With our new office we are going to occupy >350 m2 floor space. We carried out a complete renovation conform our specifications, where we took into account a healthy work environment. Including a state of the art lighting system and plenty of workspace to work according to all COVID-19 guidelines for offices.
The TLS team is excited about this new step in our 35 years history, within 5 years after the acquisition by Roland Kuijvenhoven. Te Lintelo Systems acquired the building together with their neighbour TVO Solutions, which gives the opportunity for both companies to expand business and have a future-proof location.
“We have moved too many times in the recent years (for several reasons) and have been looking for a long-term location, as it did distract from the day-to-day business”; says Roland.
If you want, you can join us on this nice location. The 1st and 2nd floor are available for rent.
We are located right at the foreseen junction of the A12 and A15, the major highways from west-east in the Netherlands, and well connected to the A3 in Germany.
You are very welcome to visit us at our new location, which is possible within the COVID-19 regulations.
