Pimcore has been growing by more than 200% in 2022 

In 2022, Pimcore increased its crew size by more than 200%, which led to the decision to look for a larger spaceship. Luckily, an appropriate one was found just before the most recent Pimconauts arrived. The new environment serves as an ideal meeting point for companions, as many Pimconauts work remotely. Those organizational changes ultimately provide more flexibility in choosing the time and location to fulfill their duties. We are equally excited for the journey ahead as Pimcore will not stop growing – stay tuned!
