The new ELS facility has a 58,000sq.ft warehouse with six truck docks, ample parking, a 12,000sq.ft office space and an impressive 1,200sq.ft showroom. Also included in the expansion is a state-of-the-art computer-aided design lab, with future plans for an instructional classroom. "In the last decade alone, we've experienced incredible growth - quadrupling the company revenue - and we're tapping into more markets every day," comments Tammie Richards, director of marketing and sales. ELS has been in the forefront of the entertainment and corporate events industries for many years: its client list includes Disney, Dreamworks, Microsoft, Nintendo, Ford Motors, Coca-Cola, Universal, Six Flags, Warner Bros. and UCLA.
In other new developments, the company has recently been involved in staging a number of high-profile Hollywood events, including media event production and party lighting rental installations for box office extravaganzas such as Spiderman, Star Wars and The 20th Anniversary of E.T. - The Extraterrestrial. The company also provided lighting, dimming and control equipment for the new Kodak Theatre, home of the annual Academy Awards global television broadcasts.
