BALTIMORE, MD--(Marketwire - May 11, 2010) - Williams Scotsman, the leading provider of modular space and storage solutions, today announced the opening of 10 additional locations throughout Mexico. The company has added new branches and storefronts in Veracruz, Guadalajara, Mexico City, Puebla, Leon, Poza Rica, Culiacan, Chihuahua, Reynosa and Torreon.
"We are committed to providing unprecedented value and service to our customers in the Republic of Mexico," said Nicholas Polit, Williams Scotsman's country manager of Mexico. "Adding these new locations further expands our reach throughout the country, enabling unmatched access to modular space solutions for businesses and educational institutions in both rural and urban areas."
With a population of more than one hundred million, the Mexican Government has initiatives in place to provide citizens with important services, such as education and healthcare. Williams Scotsman offers immediate space solutions ideally suited to serve these and as well as other applications, and has units ready for lease and/or purchase.
"Our localized centers provide in-market expertise as well as the benefit of our company's global infrastructure, making us a valued partner to our customers," added Polit. "Having more centers also means less impact on the environment, as modular units and storage containers can be transported from a local center a few miles away rather than distances of several hundred miles."
To provide customers with the opportunity to experience the company's array of products, Williams Scotsman has invited leaders in education, government and the private sector to attend one of five stops during the road show scheduled throughout the country. These events will offer additional background on the company's latest product innovations and modular space solutions. After a launch event on May 18 in Mexico City, the show will continue in Veracruz on May 20; Leon on May 25; Hermosillo on May 27; and will conclude in Guadalajara on June 1.
Williams Scotsman began operating in Mexico in 2004 and is the market leader in Mexico's modular space industry, offering mobile offices, permanent modular buildings and the Redi-Plex® solution, an alternative that creates thousands of square feet of space in a matter of weeks.
