The supplier has relocated to Koudam in the Netherlands.
CIT staff at the new facility
Creative Imaging Technology (CIT) moved to a new office and warehouse premises in Koudam, which is located in the “Tjalke van der Walstraat” commercial area, and the move brings together two separate offices and warehouse into a purpose-built, energy-neutral unit. The 400-square-metre premises have space for 500 pallets, and hold CIT’s stock of specialist niche products and an extensive range of cartridge chip solutions. Container orders will continue to be held in Rotterdam and shipped direct to customers’ premises as they clear import formalities.
Thijs Tuinstra, CEO of CIT, stated: “Our business has been growing, and operating with separate offices and warehouse presented us with some real challenges, so we have invested €65,000 ($79,922) to bring our operations under one roof and maintain and grow the high level of our services in future.
“We have hired two new staff to help with order processing and logistics, [and installed] a new ERP system as well as new VOIP system to give us more flexibility when working away from the office. These new premises meet our increased requirements for a good infrastructure, attractive rooms and professional logistics in every respect. At the same time it provides all of the conditions for further growth.
“The building, part of a small complex of commercial units, is energy-neutral, taking its electricity from a network of solar panels on the roof and feeding surplus energy into the national electricity grid. Additional energy is required for heating in the winter, but over one year we will produce more electricity than we consume. It is important that as a supplier to the remanufacturing and copier industry we have a strong environmental commitment, and from January 2015 all of our imports and exports will be CO2 neutral.”
The company will also be closed over the Christmas period until 5 January, when it will reopen.
