Foundation Supportworks Hosts Training for More than Sixty-Five
Foundation Supportworks hosted Sales, Installation and New Dealer Training in Omaha, NE during the week of May 10, 2010 and over 65 owners, managers, sales representatives and installers received training about the various foundation solutions offered by Foundation Supportworks. Dealers from West Virginia, Georgia, Colorado, Delaware, Washington, South Carolina, Pennsylvania, Missouri, Connecticut, Florida, Nebraska, Oregon and Ontario were in attendance and provided insight about the foundation problems in their region of the country. The training educated dealers on ways to effectively market, sell and install helical foundation systems, push pier systems, wall stabilization systems, and crawlspace support systems.
Foundation Supportworks Expands Facility to Accommodate Growth
Foundation Supportworks (FSI) has experienced exponential growth since 2008 and recently began construction of a 7,100 square foot addition to their office building located in Omaha, NE. The new addition will be connected to their existing 10,000 square foot office building and will make room for FSI’s ever-growing staff along with a state-of-the-art training facility. In addition to creating 22 new offices for FSI employees, the new office space will also include an interactive training center that will be able to accommodate more than 100 individuals. Amanda Harrington, Director of Training and Development for FSI, says, “With nearly 15 events on our 2010 training schedule and even more events scheduled for 2011, the new training center will provide a great learning environment for our dealers. The multimedia technology incorporated throughout the training center will allow training participants to learn in a variety of ways, ensuring the best opportunity to solidify learning concepts and incorporate them when they get back to the ‘real world’.”
The new addition is located next door to FSI’s 27,000 square foot warehouse and distribution center where finished product is stored and orders are shipped to dealers throughout North America. President and co-founder, Greg Thrasher, says, “Foundation Supportworks has been blessed with a talented staff and a committed customer base which has allowed us to invest in the future of the company. Our mission is to be the best in our industry and to “wow” our customers every step of the way. We accomplish that mission by providing our customers with the resources they need to be successful, and part of that mission will be lived out with this addition.”
Initial construction of the addition began on March 22nd and the project should be completed by the end of August.

FSI Celebrates Grand Opening and Ribbon Cutting Ceremony
On June 4, 2009, Foundation Supportworks celebrated the grand opening of its new warehouse and distribution facility with a ribbon cutting ceremony. Over 100 visitors from throughout the Omaha area were present to celebrate with us. While the warehouse has been in operation since January, we scheduled the grand opening for June so that all the landscaping could be completed in time for the event. This grand opening celebration reminded all of us at Foundation Supportworks of all the success we have been blessed with over the past year; none of which would have been possible without the commitment and dedication of our dealer network.
