About Ajinomoto Cec Kundenerlebniszentrum

Das Ajinomoto CEC ist ein Kundenerlebniszentrum, das innerhalb einer neuen Fabrik im Bandar Enstek Halal Hub in Negeri Sembilan, Malaysia, errichtet wurde. Der Innenraum empfängt Mitarbeitende und Besucher mit einer großen LED-Videowand, bevor sie das Infoseum betreten. Ein Tunnel führt die Besucher anschließend durch die Unternehmensgeschichte sowie die Dienstleistungen und Produkte des Unternehmens. Projection Mapping und eine Soundanlage begleiten den Rundgang, während ein Kochstudio interaktive Sessions rund um das Thema Geschmack beherbergt. Klare, lineare Linien erinnern an die Bewegung von Zuckerrohr im Wind.
