SymQuest celebrated the relocation of their Westbrook, Maine office, with a ribbon cutting ceremony, followed by the presentation of $5,000 in donations to local non-profits. The new 10,000 square-foot facility was needed to accommodate our company's continued expansion of our Maine service footprint. The space also includes an upgraded demonstration showroom, featuring cutting-edge office technology solutions.
"We make a living by what we get, but we make a life by what we give." - Winston Churchill
In following our corporate values of being socially responsible and involved in our local communities, SymQuest selected five non-profits to each receive a $1,000 donation. Many deserving organizations applied to be a recipient of the One Grand of a Helping Hand campaign, which did not make for an easy selection process.
