In the first quarter of 2007 Draka Elevator Products, Inc. went through a re-organization which included staff reductions. The company also planned to relocate to a smaller facility at some future point; however, we had an opportunity to make a very advantageous move if we could do so in less that 8 weeks.

 

With our reduced staffing, it was essential that we obtained some outside expertise quickly. CRMI was recommended to us by our industrial real estate agent. We first met March 22nd, received a full written proposal by March 29th and came to an agreement on March 30th.  CRMI then planned, organized and implemented our move within 6 weeks.

 

The project manager was knowledgable, organized, effective, cost conscious and adaptable. He worked well with both staff and contractors. Although we were all exhausted by the end, the relocation process was completed without injuries and close to projected costs.

 

I am pleased to recommend CRMI to anyone requiring commercil relocation services.

Commercial Relocation Management Inc. (CRMI) was hired in 2008 to support the review of our manufacturing facility located in Southern Ontario. CRMI was able to provide the management team at Voith Hydro Inc. wih an accurate summary of options for the future of our facility. This allowed us to make quality, we informed decisions.

 

It was decided to modernize our facility with the support of CRMI. CRMI provided the work planning, tendering support, site management, and cost control that is critical to a successful project, while allowing Voith Hydro employees to continue in their daily business. Throughout the project, CRMI always kept Voith Hydro's ability to operate without interruption as paramount, at the same time ensuring that the project moved ahead according to plan.

 

CRMI was  a key player in the successful modernization of our facility

We committed to moving our business from a company and facility tha housed three separate divisions. The divisions, all serving very different business streams had been bound together by common facility and share equipment and services.

 

We enlisted the  services of  CRMI to facilitate a complicated extraction from our exisitng faciility. The ease of our transition under complex circumstances is a true testament to CRMI's skill and professionalism.

 

We realized the following from the relationship:

 

With CRMI's careful management and successful transition strategies, we were able to realize a 60% increase in our business during the first quarter following the move.
