Office Furniture Closeouts (OFC), a Continental Office company, announced this week they will be moving from their Silver Drive location to Freeway Drive, just north of Morse Road. They will move into the current facility housed by Continental Office on 4/9/18.

Continental Office expanded their Freeway Drive facility by 65,000 square feet last year. The now 175,000 square foot space accommodates over 150 associates, and will add several more with the addition of the OFC team. Previously, the location housed a large warehouse and operations associates, but now houses the majority of the Continental Office Columbus team as well as Floor Maintenance Group, another Continental Office company.

The move will not only provide a better client experience but increased efficiency. “Product often comes to our Continental Office warehouse on Freeway Drive and we have to ship it to Office Furniture Closeouts’ Silver Drive location,” said Kurt Weidner, EVP of Finance at Continental Office. “By having OFC in-house, we’re creating operational efficiency.” The timing of this move is also in line with Continental Office’s growth. “By housing OFC at our Freeway Drive facility we’ll provide a better client experience, which is one of the things that matters most to us,” added Ira Sharfin, CEO of Continental Office.

The strategy behind the two companies sharing one location is that it positively impacts both the associate and client experiences. It gives OFC associates greater accessibility to resources and support, while providing a variety of choices for clients and partners to see what works best for their business goals, regardless of price point.

“Bringing OFC into our facility made a lot of business sense,” said Sharfin. “It’s important that we facilitate business needs for a wide range of projects and build partnerships with emerging and growing companies. OFC had simply outgrown their Silver Drive facility.”
