Sodecia GTAC in London, Ontario
Sodecia GTAC is a global full-service supplier of specialized manufacturing solutions, with a focus on the
automotive industry. Their London, ON based Global Tech & Automation Center (GTAC) builds robotic
cells and complete manufacturing lines for internal and external customers, as well as providing engineering and training support. Recognizing the outstanding efficiency of its London operations, Sodecia decided
to consolidate GTAC work in a new facility. For Director Chris Hurley, it was the opportunity to
“build my dream plant”.
An Engineering Culture
Endri Poletti Architect prepared the overall design, then invited three firms including POI to participate
in the tendering process. Judging that it would best meet Sodecia’s desired quality and price points, and
its clean modern lines would complement the company’s engineering culture, POI proposed Three H to
supply the office furniture. “We took representatives from Sodecia and Poletti to tour the Three H
showroom. It was important for the client to see, touch, experience a wide variety of products.”
Custom Product with Three H
Following this visit, Three H designed for Sodecia a custom six-station work pod, with spacious desks,
glass dividers, and modules combining filing cabinets with seating. Hurley recalls, “Three H gave us
these great custom pods for a reasonable price. And POI was very helpful, building a mock-up in their
office so we could see what it would really be like.”
Custom Service with POI
Sourcing primarily from Three H, with selected pieces from other partners, POI installed all the
office furniture for Sodecia’s dream plant, including 12 private offices, 50 work stations, meeting
room and auditorium tables and chairs. Both the client and architect praise POI’s professionalism
and responsiveness.
“A Beauty”
“They backed up their products. Any issues, they fixed immediately. They were amenable to
suggestions. They just delivered.” Furnishings aside, the plant is a beauty. The manufacturing
shop is spacious, efficient, and clean. Employees enjoy the gym, games room, cafeteria and
outdoor patio. Every room is flooded with natural light. And a live green wall breathes oxygen
into the soaring entry hall.
The new plant has been open for just eight weeks. But already it sends a clear message.
“It tells employees we care about them. It shows customers that we are investing in the future.
It feels sleek and sharp, like wearing a suit!”
When asked about the biggest benefit of the new office space, Chris Hurley doesn’t hesitate.
“My people are happy.”
