In 2026, Chemelot will mark its 100th anniversary! A significant milestone we wish to celebrate together with our employees and their families. At a time of change and uncertainty, we deliberately pause to reflect on what has united us for a century: collaboration, craftsmanship and resilience.
To ensure the Winter Event is organised carefully and thoughtfully, we are starting with a pre-registration.
The 100 Years of Chemelot Winter Event is designed as a moment of connection and appreciation for the Chemelot community. Rather than a large-scale spectacle, it will be an accessible and welcoming event, centred on meeting one another, being active and taking time to unwind together.
Practical information
During the Winter Event, you and your family are invited to enjoy a relaxed winter’s day full of activities, encounters, and shared experiences. A moment to step away from everyday routines, reconnect, and create lasting memories together.
The event will take place at Glanerbrook Sports Complex in Geleen, a brand-new facility including a modern ice rink and a subtropical swimming complex.
At the 100 Years Chemelot Winter Event, you can discover the renewed Glanerbrook sports complex across several different zones. Each space offers its own vibe and activities, ranging from active and playful to inspiring and relaxing.

The 100 Years Chemelot Winter Event will take place at the renovated Glanerbrook sports complex in Geleen, featuring state-of-the-art facilities. This iconic location is currently undergoing an impressive transformation and will soon embody everything Chemelot has stood for over the past century: innovation, progress, and connection.
Glanerbrook is evolving into a green, vibrant meeting place. An inspiring environment that encourages connection and activity: the ideal setting for our anniversary event.
Sustainability is at the heart of Glanerbrook’s design. The entire sports complex will operate without natural gas and will be largely self-sufficient in energy, powered by thousands of solar panels and extensive energy storage systems.*
This approach seamlessly connects sport, health and sustainability. Open visual connections between inside and outside, premium facilities and a strong relationship with the park result in a transparent and inspiring environment where watching others exercise genuinely motivates people to join in.
