Bio-Rad's Budapest Office Creates Community Library
December 16, 2025
At Bio-Rad's Budapest, Hungary office, a small idea was recently turned into a meaningful expression of who we are — and how we live our value of Together.
During a recent team-building activity, the Purchasing Team explored some of Budapest’s iconic second-hand bookstores and created the “Bio-Read Community Bookshelf.” Those involved said they are proud of what they’ve created.
“Many of us being lesser bookworms liked the idea to fill the empty shelves in the office and figured we can create something lasting for our colleagues sharing the office space with us,” said Daniel Balatoni, a procurement manager for Bio-Rad.
The community library they created includes a growing collection of books in multiple languages and genres that are now available to everyone in the office. It’s not only the books themselves that make this initiative special, but also the amazing team spirit and creativity behind them.
The shelf offers colleagues a moment to pause, discover new perspectives, and connect through stories — an everyday reminder that our culture is built through the people who shape it.
