Still growing strong, Envirotech Office Systems is proud to announce its 20 year anniversary as a prominent office furniture dealer.
November 23, 2016 (Mississauga, Ontario) – Beginning as a small sister company to CTI, one of Canada’s leading Haworth dealers, Envirotech has achieved two decades of steady growth. Providing remanufactured, new, and blended workplace solutions to clients across North America
With the need to manage inventory at CTI, Ian Somers, founder and owner, had the vision to remanufacture Haworth workstations and repurpose them for clients looking for a cost-effective, quality product. Envirotech Office Systems was created in 1996, and a 47,000 sq ft facility in Brampton, Ontario was the first location. Thinking it was going to be difficult to fill the space, the first year exceeded expectations with a multi-million dollar first year of revenue. Twenty years later Envirotech sales have tripled since that first year.
Proud to be a second-generation Canadian owned and operated business, the family is still actively involved with Elaine Somers as VP of Business Development at Envirotech and Warren Somers leading CTI.
With the increasing demand for office interior products that are environmentally-friendly, cost-effective, and have a modern style, Envirotech found their niche in the market with their office furniture. Quickly increasing their client base, they haven’t looked back.
In 2013, with the continued growth and need for more space, Envirotech moved to East Danbro, Mississauga. Employing more than 50 people this location includes a 20,000 sq ft showroom, remanufacturing facility, and office.
Commitment to growth and innovations, Envirotech continues to offer more services and products for office furniture clients across North America.
From humble beginnings, Envirotech continues to prove their leadership in the office furniture business in North America through their commitment to growth and innovations. This month, to celebrate, and as an example to their progressive branding strategy, Envirotech launched their new website and brand.
Continuing with their products and services such as remanufacturing, pre-owned, and new office furniture, the team at Envirotech extends their offerings to help their clients reinvent their workspaces.
WELLness in the Workplace events and new, environmentally-friendly, modern office furniture are part of Envirotech’s rebranding strategy.
Hosted events, such as the Wellness in the Workplace CEU Toronto event for designers, is one additional resource offered to our design and business community. New brands of office furniture and accessories that are modern, sustainable, and support wellness in the workspace, are now offered.
At a recent company anniversary celebration, Ian Somers attended as a special guest. The team was encouraged by words and speeches from employees, many of whom have been with the company for many years.
“We have a unique value proposition that has allowed us to save thousands of trailer loads of used office furniture from landfill every year while creating beautiful and cost-effective workspaces for our clients,” said Joanne Lytwyn, President of Envirotech Office. “Our superior products and services continue to help us grow our market share and take on the continent. Our incredible team, including sales, support, warehouse, and remanufacturing, are the best in the industry. There’s no stopping us now as we continue to grow and develop our wonderful Company.”
