Berkshire Hathaway’s CORT Events, the trade show and event division of CORT Furniture Rental, the nation’s premier provider of furniture rental and destination services, is excited to announce its strategic expansion. As part of this growth, CORT Events is relocating its Orlando warehouse to a larger facility as of August 15, 2024, enhancing its ability to serve trade shows, exhibits, and events in Orlando and southern Florida.
Daniel Tiepelman, vice president of operations, highlighted the practical benefits of the expansion. “This larger warehouse is a testament to our dedication to customer service. By doubling our space, we can stock more products in demand and meet our clients’ needs promptly,” he said.
Damon Ross, senior vice president of CORT Events, further emphasized the strategic significance of the move. “This strategic relocation allows us to broaden our reach and better meet our clients’ and market’s evolving needs. By positioning the CORT Events warehouse closer to our sister division, we aim to foster growth and improve our service in the trade show market,” Ross explained.
The new warehouse, at 8550 McCoy Rd, Suite 200, is 5 miles from the former warehouse and will streamline operations with CORT Furniture Rental, CORT’s business-to-consumer division. This collaboration is designed to enhance efficiency and service delivery within this important market.
“This location and increased warehouse size enables CORT Events to continue to stay focused on improving the customer experience and offer increased product volume and diversity to the Florida region,” noted Phil DeSarno, vice president of sales, marketing and merchandising.
CORT Events’ expansion efforts extend beyond Orlando. In late June, they opened a warehouse in Round Rock, TX, to cater to the dynamic Austin and San Antonio markets.
As the nation’s largest event and trade show furniture rental company, CORT Events boasts 17 warehouses across the country. They offer a wide selection of furnishings, lighting, and event drape, as well as free interactive design tools, positioning CORT Events as a one-stop solution for creating engaging, functional spaces.
