Springfield 5/30/2024 – CRDN, a leading company specializing in textile and electronic restoration services, is excited to announce a significant expansion. After eight successful years in business under the ownership of Ryan Hames, who brings over 20 years of experience in the dry-cleaning industry, the company is poised for growth with the acquisition and renovation of a new building in Springfield.
CRDN is a premier provider of textile and electronic restoration services. With a focus on helping customers recover after disasters, CRDN works closely with insurance companies to restore household items, offering a cost-effective alternative to replacement. CRDN is starting to expand from textiles, electronics, and art into whole house contents restoration. Founded by Ryan Hames, who has over 20 years of experience in the dry-cleaning industry, CRDN has been dedicated to providing exceptional service for the past eight years.
The total investment for this expansion, including acquisition and renovation costs, amounts to $1.5 million. This strategic move will not only provide CRDN with a larger operational space but also facilitate a substantial increase in the workforce. The company plans to expand its team from seven to 15 employees, reinforcing its commitment to providing high-quality service to a broader customer base.
Springfield was chosen for its larger population, which offers a greater pool of potential customers and employees. The new building, perfectly located close to CRDN’s current base in Urbana, presents an ideal opportunity for the company. This proximity allows CRDN to retain its experienced staff while expanding its operations seamlessly.
The renovation of the new facility includes the creation of modern offices and extensive updates to both the exterior and interior. These improvements ensure that the building not only meets the company’s operational needs but also provides a welcoming environment for both employees and clients.
A key factor in CRDN’s success and growth has been its ability to assist customers in times of need, particularly after fires. The company’s services are highly valued by insurance companies, as they focus on restoring household items rather than replacing them, which results in significant cost savings.
Ryan Hames emphasized the importance of the new building and its timely availability. “This opportunity came at the perfect time and in the perfect location,” Hames said. “The expansion is a testament to the dedication and compassion of our employees, who are committed to helping people recover from disasters.”
Tim Echemann of Industrial Property Brokers, who represented both the seller and the buyer, described the acquisition as a perfect match for CRDN and Ryan Hames. “This property provided an ideal location at an attractive price, ensuring that CRDN can continue to thrive and grow.”
The future looks bright for CRDN as it embarks on this new chapter in Springfield. With a larger team and enhanced facilities, the company is well-positioned to continue its mission of helping customers and insurance companies recover from the unexpected challenges that fires bring. Ryan Hames attributes the company’s growth to the compassionate mindset of his employees, who are the backbone of CRDN’s success.
