With NANO, BACHMANN introduces a compact, freestanding power solution for modern workplaces. Integrating a power socket, 45 W USB-C charger and Qi2 wireless charger, NANO creates a central charging point while keeping smartphones visible and cables neatly managed.

Office utilization is rising sharply, but many organizations lack the data to manage it effectively. iotspot provides real-time occupancy insights and AI-based forecasts, enabling companies to move from guesswork to data-driven planning and align office space with actual demand.
45W, 65W, 100W or 140W – the right choice for modern Bachmann workplaces
Modern workplaces are evolving rapidly.Laptops are replacing desktop PCs, work environments are becoming more flexible, and users expect:
One cable. One connection. Full power.
USB‑C makes exactly that possible – integrated directly into solutions such as DESK STYLE, DESK 1 or DESK 2.
But one key question remains:
BACHMANN expands its DESK family with DESK STYLE, a compact desktop solution for immediate power and charging access. Designed for office and home environments, it offers standardised functionality, easy installation without tools and a clear entry point into flexible, data-driven workplace setups.
