Vienhues Organic Market
in Viersen

The Vienhues organic market in Viersen has a wide range of fresh produce – and in pure organic quality. Sustainable, environmentally conscious, ecological – these values should also radiate from the market building. The ecological building material wood was the right choice here and so an organic market in sustainable timber construction was created.

testimonials

We have been working successfully
with the DERIX Group for many years.

“We have been working successfully with the DERIX Group for many years. I particularly appreciate the reliability and the competent exchange in partnership during the planning and implementation of the projects. The high quality and accuracy of fit with which the components are manufactured is worth its weight in gold and, in addition to a high-quality result, leads above all to short construction times. Due to the excellent results and the good mutual basis of trust, I always enjoy working with the DERIX Group.”

The advantages of wood
at the organic market Viersen

The customers of the Vienhues organic market attach great importance to the origin and sustainability of their food. This ecological aspect should therefore also be reflected in the construction method of the building – with the glulam construction method, this has been achieved.
