archSCAN, LLC Expansion and New Facility |
 |
|
Congratulations to archSCAN, LLC on their recent expansion and ribbon-cutting ceremony at their new location. They have been providing top-notch digitization and document management services to local, state, and federal government, hospitals, universities and school systems since 2002.
In 2019 they moved into a 8,000 sq ft facility in Columbia, MD and thanks to our Catalyst VLT loan program they were able to move to a new 31,000 sq ft facility in 2024, in the Gateway District. This expansion allows them to hire more staff, process millions of documents monthly, and continue turning paper chaos into an orderly, user-friendly electronic product. |
