R&D Technical Services Increases Efficiency with Move to a New Facility

“The new location is about one mile from our current location and should suit our needs much better,” said David Suihkonen, President of R&D Technical Services Inc. “As hard as moves can be, we decided to take advantage of the spotty economy and signed a great lease saving nearly 30 percent on our yearly rate. We have been at this location for 15 years so you can imagine the amount of house cleaning but it has been a good chance to really clear out the excess. We move to our new site a much tighter, less cluttered operation.”
