Office Furniture by Industry: Three Gebesa Projects in Mexico
A judicial office, a contact center and the administrative offices of a manufacturing company all need workstations. Each operation raises a different question: how to distribute functions, how to organize hundreds of connections or how to bring teams together in a new plant. Three documented Gebesa projects in Mexico show the furniture selected for each need.
This comparison focuses on furniture configurations by industry. For a broader inventory that also covers computers, connectivity and other essentials, read what equipment a business office needs.
What the furniture addressed in each operation
| Operation | Documented need | Selected configuration |
|---|---|---|
| Judicial: Ciudad Judicial in Saltillo | Bring operational areas, private offices and 14 courtrooms together in a four-story building. | G-Bench in open areas, G-Connect in private offices, Contempo in executive offices and executive seating in courtrooms. |
| Contact center: SSG in Hermosillo | Install 272 workstations for an operation designed to run 24/7, with electrical, voice and data connections kept in order. | Start in a double-run configuration, blue MDF partitions and an integrated cable duct. |
| Manufacturing: MACOR in Monterrey | Bring employees’ offices from four plants into a new plant while allowing later adjustments. | Urban and G-Connect in adaptable, reconfigurable offices. |
The table describes choices made in these projects. For another building, the floor plan, number of people and use of each area determine which combination is worth reviewing.
Ciudad Judicial: different functions within one building
The Ciudad Judicial case in Saltillo (Spanish) documents four floors, 680 workspaces and 14 courtrooms. The project called for a shift from enclosed cubicles to open operational areas, while retaining private offices for work requiring concentration or conversations with visitors.
Gebesa installed G-Bench in the busiest operational areas and G-Connect, with a round table from the same line, in private offices. Executive offices used Contempo. Courtrooms received executive seating; Bento was selected for horseshoe meeting rooms and the Spanish Prime table for conventional meeting rooms.
The decision that can carry into another project is to assign furniture by function: an open workstation, an office for sensitive conversations and a courtroom serve different purposes within the same institution. The case shows which line went into each space.
SSG: repeatable workstations with integrated cabling
In Hermosillo, the SSG Contact Center case (Spanish) records 272 workstations for an operation designed to run 24/7. The stated challenge was to withstand intensive use, make use of the available space and keep each station’s connections organized.
The installed solution was Start in a double-run configuration, with blue MDF partitions that visually separate the workstations. An integrated duct routes electrical, voice and data connections below the work surface and along the stations. For a contact center, the case points to two concrete details to check on a floor plan: how the workstations repeat and where the cables run.
The design for 24/7 operation places intensive use among the selection criteria. When comparing proposals, review the stability of the structure, the workstation layout and access to the cable duct.
MACOR: bringing teams together with room to reconfigure
The MACOR case in Monterrey (Spanish) begins with a reorganization: the company wanted to bring employees’ offices from four plants into a new plant while preserving the option to accommodate more people later. The need was an office layout that could be expanded and reconfigured.
Gebesa selected Urban and G-Connect and proposed a layout based on the client’s needs and a review of the floor plan. For a manufacturer consolidating administrative teams, the case shows why it helps to review the layout and options for change before fixing the design of each office.
What to bring to a review of your floor plan
Before choosing a furniture line, identify which areas need shared workstations, which require privacy, where connections will run and which spaces may change in size or use. Then compare those needs with the configurations visible in the three cases.
If you are planning a project in Mexico, contact Gebesa with your floor plan, workstation count and intended use of each area. Those details provide a basis for reviewing a configuration for your space.
