Starting from Scratch
The renovation of the building into the High Voltage facility was the biggest that the structure has seen in its history. According to Lansdell, the four brick walls are the only original feature remaining. “It was the biggest thing I’ve ever done,” he says. “It was like building from nothing.”
With these four walls and an otherwise blank slate, Lansdell was able to design a customized, streamlined facility for his business. “I designed every bit of it myself so that it would be exactly the flow of what we do every day,” he says. “We built all the different departments to flow in a circle. When goods are dropped off, everything moves in a circle and then back out the door.”
According to Lansdell, the location of the new facility has also helped his business by bringing in new customers. “Now, we’re out in the open, and a lot of people drive by,” he says. “We can see things picking up just from the visibility.”
