There are moments in life when things fall into place without you even searching for them. And looking back, you realize they might not have been coincidences after all.

For Lorant, choosing a new office space started as just another management task. Browsing office listings, making comparisons, checking boxes, nothing particularly emotional, until one evening, he came across Liberty Technology Park.

As he flipped through the photos of available offices, childhood memories came flooding back.

He had spent many days at the former Libertatea Factory, where his parents owned a furniture workshop. As a child, Lorant often accompanied them, playing among the forklifts and machinery. Years later, he returned to the very same place, not as a boy in the yard, but as a leader, building something new with a fresh team and a story of his own unfolding.

Today, Iron Mountain’s office at Liberty is more than just a workplace.

It’s where people connect, teams grow, and a healthy company culture takes shape.

At its core, Iron Mountain is a company about trust. For over 70 years, it has helped organizations around the world protect and manage their information. Behind every digitized document, every secure archive, every well-managed information flow there’s a relationship built on respect and care.

But beyond technology and processes, Iron Mountain is first and foremost about people.

Building a new team in a new city, especially in a technically demanding field, requires more than a physical space. It requires a sense of human safety and connection. At Iron Mountain, this starts from the top.

Here, leadership is not just about decisions, but about example. That’s why Zoom meetings have been replaced by monthly in-person leadership gatherings at Liberty. Each month, the management team gathers to reflect, exchange ideas, and stay connected with one shared goal in mind: making sure everyone feels good at work.

Because work feels different when you're surrounded by your peers, when laughter fills the coffee breaks, and when shared pauses breathe life into the day. That kind of energy transforms a team.

Iron Mountain encourages its employees to return to the office at least once a week. The hybrid model brings benefits on both sides: leaders stay connected to their teams, and employees enjoy a spacious, light-filled work environment set in a green business hub. 

Iron Mountain places a strong focus not only on professional growth but on personal development as well.

For younger team members, the company launched ‘Own Your Growth’, a program designed to go beyond KPIs and career plans. It’s a space where young professionals are encouraged to shape their own path, find clarity and move forward with confidence.

Emotional wellbeing is a real priority at Iron Mountain. Therapy is easy to access and actively encouraged, because reaching out for support isn’t seen as a weakness, but a sign that you’re taking care of yourself and staying connected to those around you.

It’s a small gesture on the outside, but one that has a profound impact on a team learning to prioritize authenticity and wellbeing at the heart of its culture.

Looking at Iron Mountain’s story here, there’s a lot to take in: that sometimes, the path to finding yourself leads through unexpected places. And that self-discovery is part of a deeper process, one that calls for openness, reflection, and community care. And what better place for that journey to unfold than a space that gives this culture room to breathe and grow?

At both Iron Mountain and Liberty Technology Park, we believe in redefining what "coming to the office" can mean: community, real connection, collaboration, and shared growth.

Lorant puts it beautifully and simply:
“Cluj is still one of the nicest places to return to. It’s a nice, fresh and young vibe that we love coming back to every time.”
