Pacific Office Automation’s Salem branch officially opened the doors to its new office space on Friday, Sept. 1, in the heart of downtown. The move had been a long time coming and was celebrated with a grand opening event at the new location. In late 2016, the Oregon-based office solutions company purchased and began renovating this historic building with plans to make it a home for several businesses in the area.
Located at 260 Liberty St. NE, the building had been vacant for ten years. After being purchased by Pacific Office Automation, it received an interior and exterior facelift in early 2017. This project included completely gutting and remodeling the building in preparation for its new tenants. The refurbished building has a new storefront, a sprinkler system and electrical upgrades. It also features ADA accommodations, an elevator and structural upgrades to meet earthquake safety standards.
“Being headquartered in Portland, we’re proud to be making this contribution to Salem’s revitalization project,” said Pacific Office Automation President Doug Pitassi. “We hope to see downtown prosper with the addition of many new businesses alongside our own.”
The leading office solutions provider currently occupies part of the building, leaving the rest for other businesses to rent out spaces. The ground floor of the building was transformed into an office equipment showroom to display the latest printers, copiers, and more from Pacific Office’s partner manufacturers, like Konica Minolta, Ricoh, and Pitney Bowes.
Pacific Office Automation’s newly renovated Salem branch is just one of its eighteen locations across the West Coast. As the company continues to expand its reach by offering office equipment and services to more organizations, its teams are looking to grow.
