Tech-Fast Facility Wins 2004 Facility of the Year Award

Sponsored annually by Mini-Storage Messenger magazine, a national trade magazine for the self-storage industry, the 2004 Facility of the Year Award recognizes Tech-Fast and Storage Central for excellence in the design and construction of the facility. The Storage Central facility was chosen for this recognition from hundreds of entries from across the U.S.

 How We Made It Happen for Storage Central

At Tech-Fast, we make it our mission to help our customers achieve their goals and create successful self-storage businesses. When we first began discussing plans for the Storage Central facility with the owner, Mike Koepf, he stated that one of his goals was to create an award-winning facility. Now, just ten months after opening for business, Mike has achieved that goal.

Mike also wished to “do something different with mini-storage.”  He envisioned an upscale facility that was “unique and different.” He also wanted his facility to “fit into the environment,” be easy and cost-effective to maintain, and still look good in 20 or more years. Today, this functional and beautiful facility is considered an area landmark and an asset to the community it serves. Tech-Fast helped Mike achieve these goals.

 How We Can Make It Happen for You

We helped Mike reach his goals—imagine what we can do for you. Whether your facility will be simple or complex, single- or multi-story, put our knowledge and experience to work for you. Tech-Fast has been building self-storage facilities across the U.S. and Canada since 1989. In addition to this practical experience, we offer a unique combination of products and services that will help you achieve your goals and ensure your long-term success and profitability.
