ModSpace Relocates North American HeadquartersBerwyn PA, January 14, 2008 - ModSpace, one of North America's largest modular solutions providers, has established its new corporate headquarters in Berwyn, Pennsylvania, in the western suburbs of Philadelphia. The company's new address is 1200 Swedesford Road, Berwyn, PA, 19312. The company was established in April of 2007, the result of Resun Leasing's acquisition of GE's modular space business. Previously, Resun was headquartered in Dulles, Virginia. ModSpace took extra steps to minimize the potential environmental impact from the daily business operations of the new corporate headquarters. In addition to using many recycled and low VOC manufactured construction materials, carpeting and finishes in the building, the company specified that certified GreenGuard SM environmentally-friendly fabrics be used in all of the employee work stations. The company also installed motion-activated high-efficiency lighting and a sophisticated Energy Management System (EMS) for controlling the indoor climate. "We are excited about our new home in the Greater Delaware Valley," said Charles Paquin, CEO and president for ModSpace. "We worked very closely with Brandywine Realty Trust and Studley Realty to find a building that meets our specific needs. "Our new corporate headquarters will enable ModSpace to continue to serve the growing needs of customers through our extensive branch network, with a readily available, high-quality lease fleet and full-service capabilities and support. "With an expansive fleet of prefabricated, modular space units positioned in every major market in the U.S. and Canada, we can deliver a customer's space solution within 48 hours," said Paquin. "In addition, our custom built modular capabilities for each customer or application, especially in the health care market through our MedBuild group, enable ModSpace to provide turn-key short term or permanent space solutions in less time compared to traditional on-site construction." According to Select Greater Philadelphia-a business marketing organization that focuses on building the economy of the region by attracting and retaining businesses-by locating in the Greater Philadelphia region, ModSpace will have access to an impressive customer base. The organization cites demographic data that shows a total of 45.7 million persons currently residing within 200 miles of downtown Philadelphia--the second highest among 11 major cities analyzed and second only to New York City's total of 48.8 million. "We are pleased that ModSpace chose the Greater Philadelphia region as its location to expand and grow," commented Thomas G. Morr, president and CEO of Select Greater Philadelphia. "Adding jobs and paychecks to Pennsylvania's economy is a win for the entire region."
