Hagen Industries Ltd.

Founded in Canada in 1955, Hagen has grown to become the world's largest privately owned pet product manufacturers and distributors. Hagen contracted Broccolini to design and build their Canadian head office. Exhibiting a contemporary and stylish look, the architecture reflects the customer's desire to confirm its leading role in America, while also supporting sustainable development. Environmentally friendly building initiatives for this project included the reduction of water consumption, selecting products with recycled content and improving indoor air quality. The 60,000-sq.ft. office achieved LEED Gold Certification. The installation of a geothermal heating and cooling system reduces the building's electrical energy consumption by over 50%. The exceptional energy cost savings and associated grants provided a five-year payback for the geothermal upgrade.
