WURTEC OPENS NEWEST BRANCH IN NYC

Wurtec, Inc. has opened its newest branch in the Long Island City part of Queens, NYC. Bill Popp is branch manager of the 15,000-ft2, 36-50 31st Street location, which will carry tools for elevator installation, modernization, service and repair, including Wurtec's popular V2 False Car, S3 Communicator phones and high-speed capstan hoist. The location may be reached by phone at (877) 225-3705. "In 2011, we established our first branch in Toronto, and after a couple of years, we knew we were on to something,” Wurtec Marketing Associate David Steingass says. “In 2018, we started receiving pressure from one of our largest customers to support their operation locally. So the culmination of a growing market, great distributors and customers, and pressure from a large customer allowed us to feel comfortable with an investment in NYC."
