Dormakaba has announced the opening of its new state-of-the-art Customer Discovery Center. 

Located in its Americas headquarters in Indianapolis, dormakaba has designed an interactive space that engages guests in hands-on, technology-driven collaborative activities. Although limited to virtual visits and extremely small gatherings at this time due to the pandemic, dormakaba expects to host customer visitors annually through a wide range of tours, training and interactive experiences. The Customer Discovery Center will host visitors by scheduled appointment only beginning today. 

Dan Stewart, business development manager at dormakaba, led media in a virtual tour of the Discovery Center, which incorporates dormakaba solutions even before entering by utilizing a touchless controller to proceed. After joking about camping outside headquarters in the Indianapolis winter in anticipation of the Discovery Center opening, Stewart said the Discovery Center was created to highlight solutions and provide partners and customers with new ideas on how to use dormakaba products.  

“Typically, a partner will come in with an idea of what they need, a challenge that they’re trying to address,” he said. “[The] Discovery Center allows us the opportunity to address that for them in order to be able to go ahead and discover the solution that they need. Beyond that, we have the opportunity to help them see different solutions, how to help them improve functionality, improve their efficiencies in their buildings beyond what they came here to see.”
