The concept is at least as ancient as the pyramids. The pharaohs who built tombs to last for ever also had walls to last the night, knock-down prefab pavilions that accompanied the rulers when they were roughing it with the troops. Fast-forward several thousand years, and we find the record of America's first modular building, a panelized wooden structure, shipped from England to Cape Ann in 1624 to house personnel from the fishing fleet.]]> http://blog.pacvan.com/2007/03/evolution_of_modular_buildings.php http://blog.pacvan.com/2007/03/evolution_of_modular_buildings.php Tue, 06 Mar 2007 09:40:54 -0600 modular buildings and mobile offices, more than 700 staffers will be working behind the scenes.

It's a highly practical and budget-friendly choice. A 14g all-steel storage container (a.k.a. shipping container or connex box) creates instant, lease-by-the-month cubic space-secure, weather and vandal proof, and right at hand. Steel storage containers make sound business sense as a planned, short-duration cost. Lease-by-month lets our retailer clients terminate their lease when the crush ends and the container is empty, purpose served. One call, and we'll be there to pick up. For store managers, the advantages of having extra on-the-spot storage space emerge in stockroom efficiencies and, importantly, in customer service and satisfaction at a madly busy time. With their merchandise immediately available in a storage container-not stored miles away at a distribution center-their customers go home with purchases in their hands, instead of a shipping date. The security of an all-steel storage container is another factor for our retailer clients. Unlike aluminum containers (that can be broken into with a large box knife), as our storage container page says, a Pac-Van steel container has "serious construction, serious security". Heavy 14g steel throughout, with a wooden floor, and heavy cam rods on the doors. Supplemental, virtually indestructible rod locks can also be installed. We also fit containers with shelving. (Check our storage container FAQ for detailed information.) If you're a retailer looking for an answer to holiday inventory overflow, Pac-Van has 20 locations that can easily deliver a storage container to your store's back door. The PV Office Locator at top left will take you to your closest branch. ]]> http://blog.pacvan.com/2006/12/retailers_turn_to_storage_cont.php http://blog.pacvan.com/2006/12/retailers_turn_to_storage_cont.php Tue, 05 Dec 2006 14:49:05 -0600 October 24, 2006, Indianapolis, IN - Pac-Van, Inc was one of twenty-four companies selected as the best in their categories in this year's Indiana University Entrepreneurial Awards of Distinction, presented Thursday, October 19th evening in Indianapolis, by IU's Kelley School of Business.]]> http://blog.pacvan.com/2006/10/pac-van_entrepreneurial_awards.php http://blog.pacvan.com/2006/10/pac-van_entrepreneurial_awards.php Tue, 24 Oct 2006 12:41:57 -0600 INDIANAPOLIS--Aug. 4, 2006--Pac-Van, Inc.
