Client background

When Seagate was founded in 1979, it was the first company to build 5.25" hard disc drives specifically for the PC. And while it might have seemed like a minor milestone at the time, in reality the introduction of Seagate’s drives helped fuel the PC revolution. 25 years later, Seagate's position as the world's largest manufacturer of disc drives places it at the heart of today's information-centric world.

Client comment

"Maris took on a challenging design brief and worked hard to involve the Seagate team in the development of the scheme. Seagate are delighted with their new European Headquarters and the success of this project was, in no small part, due to the dedication and drive of the Maris team."
