Consolidating Operations for Growth

Southland Industries designs and fabricates mechanical systems for a variety of building types and also provides energy consulting services. The company's operation was bifurcated, with its head office separated from its manufacturing facility. As the business grew at an unprecedented rate, the manufacturing site became undersized, creating operational inefficiencies and limiting output capacity.

 

These challenges created an opportunity to rethink the company's overall operation in the Philadelphia market, including evaluating whether to remain and expand in satellite locations, utilize off-site IOS facilities, or pursue a full or partial relocation.
