Graebel Moving And Workplace Solutions Launches At National Relocation Conference

DALLAS, May 6, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Graebel Moving and Workplace Solutions announced today key service areas for its customers and partners, focused on four segments of the market: corporate, residential, workplace and international. The new company will debut at the National Relocation Conference (NRC) hosted by the Worldwide ERC, taking place May 6-8 in Las Vegas. Earlier this year, the Peterson family acquired Graebel Van Lines and Graebel Moving and Storage from the Graebel Companies, Inc., and branded it under the new name Graebel Moving and Workplace Solutions.

The Graebel name was first established by moving industry icon David Graebel in 1950. "We are proud to launch Graebel Moving and Workplace Solutions at the 2015 National Relocation Conference," says company chairwoman Vauna Peterson. "With a new executive team in place, led by CEO Terry Carter, we are sustaining the reputation for reliability and quality built during the last six decades. We look forward to augmenting this legacy by focusing on technology, customer service and attention to detail in every aspect of our business."

In addition to its high quality, end-to-end moving services for residential and commercial clients, Graebel Moving and Workplace Solutions is growing in the workplace solutions space. With access to its nationwide network of wholly owned and operated service centers, their comprehensive menu of workplace solutions encompasses moving, warehousing, installation and disconnect-reconnect services. With state-of-the-art technology, the company's workplace solutions employs every aspect of technology support from Computer Aided Design (CAD) systems for strategic space planning and Moves/Adds/Changes (MAC) move management tools, to process management, performance tracking, inventory control, asset management and real time reporting. 

"The focus in areas that build on our 65-year history will support our desire to provide services to customers beyond packing and moving their offices and homes," said CEO Terry Carter. "While our culture will evolve naturally going forward, we are predominantly influenced by an entrepreneur spirit. The push for urgency, action and innovation will allow us to become the premier provider of workplace solutions for companies across the United States, while continuing our proven services in commercial and residential moving domestically and abroad."

Senior Vice President of Sales and Marketing Jack Donnell said, "The change comes directly from leadership and our teams. We're empowering and supporting our employees to provide exceptional service for Graebel Moving and Workplace Solutions customers. The culture we're building upon will give a successful, trusted customer experience and channel all aspects of the company's vision to provide the best solutions in the industry."

Last month, Graebel Moving and Workplace Solutions debuted the first in its fleet of fifty new state-of-the-art 53' vans, manufactured by industry leader Kentucky Trailer. Plans are in place to refurbish the entire fleet, with 10% of the existing trailer fleet set for refurbishment by year's end. In addition, investments with other providers will result in forty new straight trucks and support vehicles to serve the company's workplace solutions clients, to be delivered by mid-summer. The company is making an investment of more than $2 million in 2015 to deploy technology solutions designed to enhance customer experience and streamline operational and back office processes.
