EMCS Industries Ltd Moves to New Facility
VICTORIA, BC, Canada. EMCS Industries Ltd is pleased to announce the moving of the company headquarters to new premises. The move was accelerated by the need to adapt to the growth of the company over the last 3 years. The facility provides for future growth and the ability to store more inventory and customer orders for expedited delivery when required. EMCS has always had the ability to cater to emergencies and meet customer needs no matter what the situation is. The move will afford EMCS the ability to continue operating in this manner, even as the company grows. The great news is that the new facility is literally across the road from the old headquarters and therefore EMCS remains conveniently close to the international airport and ferry terminal. The new address is Unit 5 – 10114 McDonald Park Rd, North Saanich, BC, V8L 5X8, Canada.
EMCS Industries Ltd continues to expand its global reach in order to service over 147 vessels wherever they are during a voyage. EMCS is now capable of at least doubling that capacity out of the new location. When asked for comment, Trevor Tasker (President and CEO) said “We believe with this move we are going to add a whole new exciting dimension to the company for our world class customers in the Marine industry around the world. We remain laser-focused on delivering the best customer experience while providing the market with sustainable antifouling solutions. Our commitment to go beyond customers’ expectations with excellent product quality and reliability, combined with superior ongoing service and support defines the core values in the EMCS Industries organization.”
