Benco In The News

There's a nice article in today's issues of the Citizens' Voice and Scranton Times Tribune about our move to CenterPoint. You can catch it on page 3 of the Citizens' Voice, in the Business Section of the Times Tribune or online by clicking here. Enjoy!

On The Move (Finally)

The day is finally here and the whirlwind has begun. Department by department, Benco headquarters is transitioning into CenterPoint. Already in place are the Finance and TIS departments, filling their corner of the second level office area. Here's some shots of the nearly completed building.

As always, thanks to Sharon Fiorini for the photos and click on them to enlarge. Enjoy.....




Since November 15th, we've been receiving stock at the CenterPoint warehouse.





Beginning in December, CenterPoint went operational and was shipping orders out.






New technology in the warehouse, like an updated supply management system has streamlined a once cumbersome task.








Still under construction is our new, stylish lobby, which will feature a light-up Benco sign and a comfortable waiting area for visitors.









One of these fine-looking chairs might just be yours! The chairs not yet delivered are being stored in the Marketing area.





More first level offices. This area belongs to Marketing and Purchasing.






This is a look at what the first level cubicles look like. This particular area is for visitors needing private work areas.






The humble beginnings of the refrigerator area in the new cafeteria






Fully installed, the sinks and microwaves make up a roomy, comfortable kitchen area for associates.






One of the more unique aspects of CenterPoint, here is the Internet Commons where any associate can access the Internet on break times.

We're less than two weeks away from the move to CenterPoint and the finishing touches are being completed. We have a ton of great photos for you below. You'll get a fresh look at the completed cafeteria as well as progress shots of both office levels, the building exterior and the warehouse.

Now It's Official

Today CenterPoint became Benco's. The new building was christened with the installation of the giant tooth that has resided outside Big Ben since 1989. The monument entitled "Little Soldier" was originally created in New York City as a symbol of the strength and courage needed for healthy teeth. Below are some pictures (courtesy of Sharon) of how "Little Soldier" was transported.

To get another look at the tooth's move, tune into Channel 16's evening newscast. They sent a crew up to capture the tooth on the move.
