Columbine Vineyards, a growing company with a focus on family, sustainbility and quality, has opened its new sales office, The Exchange at Columbine Vineyards, which maximizes efficiency and embraces technology.
The innovative office is located north of the new 204,000 square foot cold storage facility in Delano, California. Advanced technologies allows the sales staff to monitor sales and watch the receiving line at a glance from their ergonomic desks. Other features that support the dedicated sales team include huddle rooms for a collaborative work environment, a state-of-the-art conference center and a customer service check-in center.
With a focus on sustainability, kitchen tables have been made from reclaimed trellis steaks and recycled corner irons, and reclaimed vineyard cross arms were used to construct a custom logoed art piece. The new office also includes a drinking fountain with bottle filler to reduce the number of plastic bottles being used and has made the transition to paperless filing, where over 90 percent of Columbine Vineyards’ customers receive electronic invoicing.
“The Exchange at Columbine Vineyards is an example of new technologies and sustainable practices that serve a greater purpose by being environmentally friendly,” said Denise Smith, Columbine Vineyards’ Sales Support Manager. “It is appropriately positioned by the new cold storage facility that has further expanded Columbine Vineyards’ ability to preserve the shelf life and the nutritional value of the high quality grapes that are grown and shipped exclusively by our company.”
Columbine Vineyards is a fourth generation family-owned and operated table grape grower, packer, and shipper located in the heart of California’s San Joaquin Valley.
