Crown Acquires Quraz Records Management in Japan
Crown has completed the acquisition of Quraz Records Management, one of Piedmont’s business units, based in Tokyo. The business headquarters is located in Tokyo and will operate and serve clients throughout greater Tokyo.
The new management center is located in Ota-ku, approximately 30 minutes south of Tokyo’s business district and about midway between Tokyo and Kawasaki. Crown is investigating properties just outside Metro Tokyo and will further expand its presence in the near future.
With the acquisition of this local business, Crown Japan offers a robust suite of products to the global, regional and local business communities. Philip Britton, group vice president of Records Management adds, “This acquisition has brought a lot of new innervations to our system with regard to bilingual Web interfaces which will help many of our clients throughout the world.”
Tim Powell, senior manager, will oversee Crown’s records management business in Japan. He has been in the industry since 1999 and has vast knowledge of the business—from operations, sales and marketing to compliance and training.
Tim will be supported by senior sales executive, Shinki Fujimoto. Shinki will build and continue to maintain successful relationships with prospective and existing clients. His experience working in the Japanese marketplace will benefit Crown in its continued commitment to providing a highly personal and customer-focused approach to its service delivery.
