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.
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.

Sustainability plays a key role in the renovated Glanerbrook. The complex is designed to be completely gas-free and utilizes 5,200 solar panels and large batteries for energy storage. This allows for optimal use of locally generated energy and helps manage peak loads.
In addition, Glanerbrook features an innovative heating and cooling system that efficiently provides heat and cooling to the ice rinks, swimming pools, sports halls, and other spaces. The design seamlessly integrates sports, health, landscape, and building technology, ensuring a smart and sustainable use of space, energy, and systems.

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.

Sustainable and future‑focused
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.
