Expansion is not only based on warehousing. TFA offers options for office space by utilizing modular office solutions. These solutions include: containment rooms, tax benefits, clean rooms and flexibility in location.
Another great expansion option is portable mezzanines. These could be utilized to hold modular offices and offer vertical space for things located on the ground floor. Newly acquired extra floor space could then be utilized for product storage too. Another option for freeing up more valuable floor space could be done by having a mezzanine area on top of your modular office.
