The process of expansion does not end at warehousing. TFA offers alternatives for office space by utilizing modular office solutions. These solutions comprise: containment rooms, tax benefits, clean rooms as well as flexibility in location.
Another great expansion alternative is portable mezzanines. These could be used to hold modular offices as well as provide vertical space for items located on the ground floor. Newly acquired extra floor space could then be used for product storage as well. Another alternative for freeing up more valuable floor space can be created by having a mezzanine area on top of your modular office.
