“This location will serve as Summa America’s central distribution center, technical training facility, and service hub for our dealers,” said Barry Budwit, vice president and general manager of Summa America. “We are delighted to be closely located to meet the needs of our channel partners who are serving the American markets.”
“We were pleased to be able to bring this growing firm to Cummings Center by providing a creative space solution on an aggressive timeline,” said Cummings Properties leasing manager Mary Carroll, who worked directly with Summa America on the lease. “Our in-house design and construction teams were tasked with building out a facility that could accommodate the delivery and display of Summa’s unusually large products.”
Cummings Properties modified existing loading docks and interior columns, and created a new loading bay to allow for the movement of large-scale products within Summa’s new site. The facility includes warehouse, office, and demonstration space.
The Belgian firm will join several other international clients that have locations at Cummings Center, including Analytik Jena US, Applied Photophysics, Quarto Publishing Group, Hettich Instruments, and Yankee Leisure Group.
Founded in 1973, Summa builds cutting plotters and delivers products for the sign making, labeling, vehicle wrap, and outdoor advertising industries. The Customer Experience Center in Beverly will carry the complete assortment of Summa’s professional Roll & Flat Bed finishing systems.
Cummings Properties’ portfolio of more than 10 million square feet of prime space accommodates offices, healthcare facilities, labs, restaurants, retail storefronts, warehouses, co-working spaces, executive suites, and more. With a portfolio of this size and variety, the firm can meet almost any commercial real estate need from 150 square feet to 300,000 square feet. Its in-house experts in design, construction, and property management offer “one-stop shopping” for leasing clients.
