American Window Film relocates offices: consolidates Foxboro locations under one convenient roof

The American Window Film, Inc. team is settling in nicely - and stretching their legs - in new "digs" at 71 Elm St., Unit 10. As Peter Davey, president, said "We've been bursting at the seams for a while now -- waiting for the right location, the right opportunity and the right time to make a move as complex as this." Specific requirements have made finding a building that would accommodate all their needs a challenge. Fortunately, that building became available the first of the year and the company's steady growth, a positive economic outlook and timing were perfect. Despite the fact that American Window Film's new home is only a few miles away from their previous Foxboro location, the actual move was not without its logistic challenges. Moving inventory, offices and vehicles from multiple locations while balancing ongoing installation projects was daunting and made for very long days for all. While at it, the principals agreed that this would be prime time to upgrade computer and phone systems as well. Their new location includes significantly more office and inventory space and allows for garaging company vehicles on site within 3,000 s/f. Vice president operations, James Davey, is thrilled that this move allowed for complete consolidation. "So much more convenient having inventory and vehicles under one roof. Less travel, much more efficient...and fewer keys." Vice president sales, Jim Maloof, has sold a lot of 3M Window Film in his almost 30-year career at American Window Film. After landing a large local commercial project, he watches the crew carry in rolls of film inventory into their new warehouse space. Maloof said, "I guess you can say we all move a lot of window film here - we've been doing it for a long time and our experience shows. It's nice to be home." Established in 1975, American Window Film, Inc., sells and installs 3M Window Film for a variety of applications including safety and security, energy conservation, solar control, and architectural and interior design. 3M Window Films provide heat, glare and fade reduction. Many meet LEED Energy & Atmospheric Requirements and qualify for LEED credits.

Investing in a falling rate environment - by Harrison Klein

Long-term interest rates have fallen by 100 basis points, and the market is normalizing. In December of 2022 I wrote an article about investing in a high interest rate, high inflation market. Since then, inflation has cooled off, and the Fed has begun lowering their funds rate.

The industrial markets have never been stronger. What has happened is that the build out of Devens with new high-tech biotech manufacturing with housing to service these buildings serves as the connector required to really make the I-495 West market sizzle. Worcester has been the beneficiary
