The Town of Busti

Town Clerk filing
Town Clerk, Diane VanDewark, appreciates how much easier the Ulrich Planfile has made her job.

The Town of Busti, in Western New York State, currently makes use of an Ulrich Planfile to house important plans and area maps. After having great success with the model, further documentation has created the necessity for another file, and Ulrich was again their choice.

“It is the perfect place to store our Town Maps, Water District Maps, Town Building Maps and our Project Plans. The Ulrich Planfile protects our drawings keeping them flat and in great condition.”-Diane Van Dewark, Town Clerk, Town of Busti

The cabinet keeps the numerous types and kinds of drawings easily accessible and well organized. Ulrich’s accompanying file folders divide the maps and plans into groups and labels them accordingly. Index cards placed in the lid of the unit provide further ease in locating the desired material. The frequent use of these documents make Diane’s job much easier as Ulrich’s vertical filing system makes large drawings easy to access, view and put back in the appropriate order.

Space saving design requires less than ½ the space of flat drawer files.
Planfiles are easy to use and documents are maintained in great condition.
Mobility, fire and water resistance at such an affordable price provide safety and value.
