Ulrich Owners and Congressman Tom Reed

Congressman Tom Reed recently visited Ulrich Planfiling to acknowledge the 100th Anniversary of the Ulrich Planfile. He presented Ulrich owners with a Congressional Proclamation acknowledging the amazing efforts from 1915 with Charles Ulrich’s initial invention to the successful business today. Three generations of the Ulrich Family and the current ownership have created a company with a culture of quality products and process as well as a strong concern for customer satisfaction. This along with a quality well trained workforce, and a drive toward constant improvement have made Ulrich Planfiling a premier manufacturer of custom sheet metal products as well as the Ulrich Planfile line of products.

Keys to Continued Success – Stellar Century

Dan Berry president of Ulrich Planfiling manufacturer of Custom Sheet metal products and the Ulrich Planfile, a premier filing system for Engineering Prints, Blueprints, Poster Storage and Map Storage
Ulrich serves as a highly skilled extension of it’s customers engineering department.

Continuous business success is an elusive thing. Countless articles and books have been written on the subject. But the best of them are predicated on advice from the front lines—from the leaders of these successful companies.

Two recent Post journal articles tapped Dan Berry, President of Ulrich Planfiling to describe his keys to Ulrich Planfiling’s continued success. Berry describes those keys as follows:

  • Excellent Products
  • Talented and dedicated staff making the product.

 

Revolutionary patent design for Ulrich Planfile. Providing the first vertical Engineering Print and Map Storage. Bi-lateral pressure on the Engineering Prints and Maps stored in the cabinet by the spring compression system keeps the Plans, Prints and Maps stored in the cabinet smooth and flat.

Excellent Products

“Our company started 100 years ago when Charles Ulrich patented a revolutionary filing system for engineering prints, architectural plans, map storage and blueprints. This product became known as the premier filing cabinet for large document filing.

This Ulrich Planfile has undergone many improvements and changes over the years, incorporating the latest technology into the improvement of the design and manufacture of this cabinet.

And that one cabinet has become an entire line of large document filing cabinets. The Planfile was a great idea 100 years ago and it is still the industry “gold standard” for large document storage. Berry described, “It is our talented and dedicated staff that made us successful in manufacturing filing for engineering prints.

 

Talented and Dedicated Staff

And their talent and dedication poised us perfectly in the 1980’s to leverage our extensive knowledge in precision sheet metal fabrication to develop another segment of our business — custom sheet metal fabrication. Our ability to produce complex fabrications which are close tolerance and highly cosmetic has allowed us to branch out into other areas which include filing systems, furniture, stainless steel cabinetry and tanks, heavy duty HVAC equipment and pretty much any fabrication requiring high quality, competitive pricing, and short lead times.

Since 20% of Ulrich’s workforce have engineering degrees – Ulrich can serve as a highly skilled extension of it’s customers engineering department. Ulrich’s dedicated custom sheet metal fabrication team brings years of experience and extensive industry knowledge to every step of the precision metal fabrication process. From initial engineering design to final assembly of the product. I am proud to have spent the past 21 years with such a talented and dedicated group of people.”

Poster and Bulletin Board Storage

GREAT CHOICE FOR POSTER AND BULLETIN BOARD STORAGE.

We will provide all students the opportunity to learn today so they may contribute to a better tomorrow  – Clymer Central School Motto

Poster and Bulletin Board storage in school library
Poster and Bulletin Board Storage

Mary Zimmer is the embodiment of this motto

Her picture shows her enthusiasm for her job as Library Media Specialist, and the energetic spirit she brings to it every day. Mary utilizes posters, bulletin boards, anchor charts and signs to provide a bright, organized and stimulating environment for her elementary and junior high learners. She uses these posters, bulletin boards and signs and changes them frequently to encourage her students to read books, research new concepts, and explore new ideas.

Poster and Bulletin Board storage in Ulrich Cadfile
Clymer School Library uses Cadfile for Bulletin Board Storage

Poster and Bulletin board storage became a problem for Mary. She wanted a way to protect the precious budget dollars she had invested in these items. A storage solution that would keep these items handy when she needed them and tucked neatly out of sight when she didn’t. – who wants to waste space on storage! But most of all Mary didn’t want to waste her valuable time searching for her poster, anchor charts and bulletin board items when they were needed.

She tried a traditional poster rack. However she felt that the whole experience had been a waste of both time and money. The poster rack did not protect her posters, anchor charts and bulletin board items. And the traditional rack took up a lot of space, was unattractive and worst it was difficult to organize these items and find them when needed.

ULRICH SOLVES BULLETIN BOARD STORAGE

Mary was very excited when she chose the Ulrich Cadfile as her poster and bulletin board storage solution. And it solved all of her concerns:

  • More time for Lesson Plans – Better Organization means time saved!
    • Organized – With 20 folders the cadfile provides organization unlike any cabinet on the market.
    • Time Saved – Easily find the item you need and easily refile.
  • Save Budget $$ – with Ulrich Cadfile your items are protected and like new for years. No need to re-buy due to damage.
  • Save floor space for your kids – at only 10 3/4″ deep this cabinet fits almost anywhere.
  • Easily update your room – casters make it easy to move the Cadfile. Whether you need a totally new space or just need to clean the carpet.
  • Store 1,000 documents or more – when storing 24″ x 36″ size there is space for 1,000 documents. If your posters are smaller you can store even more!

School Map Storage at Jefferson Middle School

MIDDLE SCHOOL MAP STORAGE
Art print and school map storage at Jefferson Middle School. Saving space and protecting these important educational prints, posters and maps is of key importance. This mobile compact large document storage cabinet is the perfect tool for this job.

Located in Jamestown, NY is the Jefferson Middle School. In fact this public school houses grade levels 5-8 with a student population of approximately 400. Altogether the library and its staff, provide a quiet haven for book-worms and those with a thirst for learning. Not to mention when that learning extends to outside of the classroom.

SCHOOL STORAGE AT A PREMIUM

In this case a large computer lab, massive book collection and numerous student work displays provide little room for more supplementary materials, such as Maps, Posters and Art Prints. For this reason the Ulrich Cadfile is the school map storage solution that provides yet another learning opportunity for the students at Jefferson.

SCHOOL MAP STORAGE AS WELL AS POSTERS AND ART PRINTS

In particular the Cadfile cabinet  houses a map collection and Picture America art prints and posters from the National Endowment for Humanities. In fact this storage cabinet benefits not only the library but the whole school.

“Immediately, the file made it very easy to catalog and enter each item into the circulation system.” –Julie Livengood, Jefferson Middle School Library Media Specialist

CABINET BENEFITS

Especially helpful is the space saving technology provided with the vertical filing system. In addition to being space saving the labeled folders make it easy to locate the correct material quickly. Whenever teachers need many items for a project, we can easily wheel the entire unit to the classroom.

  • Only 10.75″ deep
  • 20 heavy duty folders come with the cabinet
  • High capacity – 1,000 documents
  • Casters make it mobile
  • File and remove documents easily – see video at end of article
