Controls Expands and Moves
June,
2007
After
15 years of growing our business, Superior Controls proudly
announces that we are expanding and moving into our own
headquarters. On March 20, Superior Controls purchased
a 24,000 sq. ft., three story, brick office building
in Seabrook, NH. The building, constructed in 1988, formerly
served as the administrative headquarters for Sovereign
Chemicals.
The
new building roughly triples our current space and will
perfectly complement and support Superior Controls business
growth plans in the coming years. An aggressive schedule
for an early July move is on track, and Rick Ascanio
is handling the numerous fast track renovations that
are in progress.
The
added space will allow us to meet the needs of a growing
customer base. The building layout includes a dedicated
validation documentation preparation/ staging area and
multiple conference rooms. One level is being prepared
to house our software and documentation libraries, as
well as areas for project testing, equipment staging
and calibration, and factory acceptance testing.
In
addition to optimizing the building layout for office
and test areas, basic upgrades include a massive parking
lot expansion to accommodate 88 vehicles, and fresh paint
and new carpeting for all the office areas. We are also
putting in place a number of Green Initiatives which
include upgrading the heating system with high efficiency
boilers, installing staged electrical service for all
AC condensers, and replacing all fluorescent bulbs and
ballasts building-wide. Other installations include state-of-the-art
security and surveillance systems, and biometric access
control.
The
building is located on 2.8 acres and is approximately
15 minutes from our current office. One great feature
is that it is easily accessible from Interstate 95, with
the nearest exit just a couple miles away.
To
celebrate the closing in March, Superior Controls employees
toured the new headquarters and had the opportunity to
view the building prior to all of the renovations. This
was followed by an enjoyable company dinner at a nearby
restaurant.
As
Heidi French, a long time employee, said, "Yesterday
isn't soon enough to be enjoying all our new building
has to offer."
