Over the past 12 years, Mircom has enjoyed
steady growth and is now one of the largest manufacturers of fire
alarm safety systems in Canada. The Vaughan company is expanding
once again, buoyed by strong sales and new opportunities in
international markets.
"Mircom has done very well in the last ten
years as a result of our in-house capabilities," says Tony Falbo, the
company's founder. The need for a larger facility was due to our
increased volume of business and a shortage of production space."
The new 82,000-square-foot corporate
headquarters of Mircom is located on Interchange Way, next to Highways
407 and 400. It essentially doubles the space available for the
175 staff working in administration and manufacturing operations.
The new facility becomes the focal point of the company's sales and
service activities in the Greater Toronto Area. Mircom also has
satellite offices across Canada and in San Francisco and Los
Angeles.
Falbo credits Vaughan's skilled labour
resource base and its proximity to the company's main markets as
factor contributing to Mircom's success. He is now looking to
build up other markets, including the United States, which currently
accounts for 25 per cent of company sales. |
