DECOMMISSIONING PHOTO GALLERY

MOVE & OPEN NEW FACILITIES PHOTO GALLERY

At the time, this warehouse at O'Hare Airport in Chicago, IL was the largest in the world for DHL Global Forwarding. The project required decommissioning their largest warehouse in North America to open this new facility and office space. Tomko Services was the lead program manager and general contractor for all facets of the decommission, move, and opening of the new facility. The program was mission critical to the global DHL network and was a high profile project from an elected leader perspective as the project earned significant tax incentives for retaining and creating jobs in Chicago and throughout Illinois.

Warehouses, industrial facilities, offices, and other real estate holdings have dynamic needs for their operations, including expansion, repair and replace, upgrades, and more. Tomko Services has the capabilities to handle all of those needs for global and local businesses. Whether your location needs to add pallet racks, install next-generation scissor lifts, create office spaces in open areas, hang wayfinding signage, install safety equipment, and more. We have 50+ years of experience managing and installing all manner of equipment. We comply with the manufacturer's installation requirements and the local building codes to ensure there are no issues before, during, or after the work is complete.

TOMKO SERVICES ISN'T JUST FOR MISSION CRITICAL PROJECTS, WE ALSO PROVIDE ONGOING ONSITE MAINTENANCE SERVICES

Companies large and small, global and local have relied on Tomko Services to manage their ongoing maintenance services for their warehouses, industrial facilities, offices, and mixed use properties. We have our team onsite full-time and on-call to provide administrative services and labor services.Some examples of our services we provide includes ensure the general safety, clean, and quality working condition of the facility, and coordinating with all third-party vendors providing services to the facility. We also are responsible for providing general labor services, as needed. Our general labor services are intended to ensure the maintenance and prompt repair of building equipment, fire and security equipment, and other core operational equipment, such a forklifts, boom lifts or "cherry pickers", dock doors, ball transfer systems, etc.Clients find value in this ongoing onsite maintenance because it frees up their own staff to focus on their core functions and offers predictability in monthly, quarterly, and annual expenses.

CORE SUPPLIER MANAGEMENT PHOTO GALLERY

As the strategic property solutions partner of choice, Tomko Services is oftentimes the Tier One, or general, contractor with the property owner, client, etc. While we self-perform a full suite of services for all the capabilities we offer, we do need subcontractors for niche services or specialized equipment. We have relationships with many companies and subcontractors for 50+ years and we only work with those with a proven history of safety, reliability and affordability.At Tomko Services, we manage all subcontractors directly on behalf of the client. This reduces the number of touch points for our clients, and eliminates the paperwork to onboard these companies into their own supply chain. With us managing all aspects of the subcontractors, we limit the distractions, paperwork, and management overhead for our clients.

THE BEST LEADERS UNDERSTAND A TRAINED STAFF IS A SAFE STAFF AND THOSE LEADERS LOOK TO TOMKO SERVICES TO DELIVER INDUSTRY-LEADING TRAINING

We provide training for all job levels, including SOPs, job safety, industry certifications, equipment handling, and more. We can provide on-site training, virtual training, create online Learning Management Systems, and train-the-trainer sessions. Our systems are expected to be deployed quickly and broadly to ensure maximum reach and impact throughout a location, multiple locations, and enterprise. We also have experience training talent and workforce with low- and limited education and comprehension abilities, including challenges with adult literacy and English-language barriers.

DHL CASE STUDY | DECOMMISSION WAREHOUSE & OFFICE PHOTO GALLERY

DHL GLOBAL FORWARDING CALLED UPON TOMKO SERVICES TO DECOMMISSION ITS LARGEST AIRPORT WAREHOUSE IN NORTH AMERICA AT O'HARE IN CHICAGO

These photos are a sample of the type of work completed by Tomko Services. The DHL Global Forwarding warehouse and office was completely decommissioned and all materials that could be salvaged and repurposed in the new warehouse and office were moved to a staging facility until the new 491,000 sf warehouse and office for 500 employees was ready to be occupied.

ONSITE EVENT MANAGEMENT PHOTO GALLERY

IMPROVE THE EVENTS TAKING PLACE AT YOUR FACILITY OR EXPAND SERVICES TO INCLUDE SPECIAL EVENTS

Tomko Services has worked with a variety of city- and private-owned conference and event venues that were looking to improve the quality and to increase the frequency of the events taking place at their sites. We have also worked with a variety of property owners who were looking to generate new sources of revenue by utilizing their facilities to host special events.In one example, we worked with a city-owned community event space near Cleveland that was underutilized in both quality and frequency of events. We worked with the city to identify 20+ local social media influencers and event planners to create a series of unique events over the course of 2 years that were produced by the event planners and co-hosted by the social media influencers. The campaign and events were a tremendous success, including Hitch & Ditch, a wedding-themed resale event that was held 2 times per year and was the biggest show of the campaign and was expanded to 6 other cities throughout the state of Ohio.In Las Vegas, we worked with a neighborhood night club that was struggling to compete with the activities along The Strip and other tourist destinations. Our market research indicated their nightclub was in an arts district that supported a younger and more racially, economically, and socially-engaged diverse population than the traditional Las Vegas nightclub goer. We found a local LGBTQIA+ wrestling company that hosted monthly events at different venues throughout the city and their attendance was growing every month. We structured a deal where the wrestling company would have an "extended residency" at the nightclub and host their monthly wrestling events and promotional activities at the nightclub. The partnership has proven to be a giant success because the wrestling company no longer needs to find venues for their events every month and negotiate rates, insurance, security and more; and the nightclub is now known as the official home of this growing sport and wrestling company where big events happen every month with smaller promotional events throughout the month.

EXCLUSIVE EVENTS FOR CLIENTS, INDUSTRY CONFERENCES, & OTHER VIPS

WHEN COMPANIES WANT TO HOST MEMORABLE EXPERIENCES THEY CALL TOMKO SERVICES

Companies in the know are all reaching the same conclusion: to stand out in a crowded marketplace they need to create MEMORABLE EXPERIENCES their customers, target audiences, best performing teams, and other key stakeholders cannot get anywhere else.At Tomko Services, we have worked with public and private organizations, as well as government agencies to create once-in-a-lifetime experience events for their guests. Whether it's planning Breast Cancer Survivor events in collaboration with the Chicago Cubs at Wrigley Field or Cleveland Browns at Huntington Bank Field, hosting Nobel Peace Prize Laureate Lech Wałęsa at Pritzker Pavilion in Millennium Park, working with speaker guilds and music industry leaders to find keynote speakers or special performers, we take care of it all.Our goal for these exclusive events is simple: work within your budget and timeline to execute the most memorable experiences your guests can possibly have. We will work with you and plan your exclusive event whether your budget is a few thousand dollars to several hundreds of thousands of dollars. We will deliver the experiences your audiences will love and remember for a long time!

ANNUAL MEETINGS AND EVENTS REQUIRE BRAND STANDARDS & STRUCTURE

ANNUAL MEETINGS ARE A MIX OF FAMILIAR YET FRESH, AND ADDING IN A DASH OF SURPRISE & DELIGHT TO ENGAGE AUDIENCES

The name says it all: Annual Meeting. You know what to expect because this event happens every year, but there is still some excitement to see how the expected is updated, refreshed, and made more engaging than previous annual events. Annual events are a staple for Tomko Services because of our company culture of continuous improvement. We document everything that performed well from past year's events and we improve on them while not repeating the items that did not perform well.It's a delicate balance to deliver the required content and programming of an annual event while still being able to surprise and delight your audience to make sure they received significant value from attending the event. We plan and execute enough events a year to understand which activities and technologies are easily transferrable to other industries and which are unique to the client, audience, location, or industry.Clients who work with us understand we will ensure all aspects of the annual event are planned and executed flawlessly because our proprietary Execution Program Management process includes defined timelines, budgets, and authorized approvers for decisions. Additionally, we complete a comprehensive Go-Live Readiness Checklist the week prior to the annual event to ensure is there time to make adjustments before the day of the event.

CO-SPONSOR EVENTS TO REDUCE COSTS AND MAXIMIZE THE USER EXPERIENCE

CO-SPONSORED EVENTS CAN CREATE SHARED EXPERIENCES FOR A LARGER REACH & IMPACT

Deciding which events clients would like to co-sponsor depends on market research, market segmentation, as well as overall goals and objectives. Whether it is sponsoring concerts, parades, festivals, special events, or other activities, co-sponsoring provides a way to secure a VIP experience and access without the financial burden and planning an exclusive VIP event.Tomko Services works with clients to identify the right co-sponsored events based on their goals, target audience, budget, and level of engagement tolerance. These co-sponsored events provide VIP access and experiences, and also provide guests with the ability to standout in a high-value experience that is shared with many in the community and media.

RECURRING EVENTS CAN INCLUDE DIFFERENT CITIES, COUNTRIES OR TIME OF THE YEAR

THE BEST EXECUTED ROADSHOW & RECURRING EVENTS START WITH A SCALABLE PLAN

Recurring events are typically different than traditional Annual Meetings. Recurring events are typically hosted sequentially over a period of time or in different cities. We have worked with clients who have had roadshows where exhibits, signage, demonstrations, and prototypes had to be moved from location to location. And we have worked with clients who had recurring events in the same location but at different dates and times to accommodate high volume participants.At Tomko Services, we know how to plan and execute these events, as well as the logistics of making them flexible and scalable to ensure they can be setup, broken down, and, if needed, shipped to the next location. We work with a variety of logistics companies who provide white glove services for materials requiring the proper handling of fragile items or items requiring specific equipment like refrigeration, hazardous materials certification, etc.

SITE SELECTOR SERVICES TO FIND THE PERFECT LOCATIONS FOR YOUR EVENTS

WHEN YOUR EVENT IS LOOKING FOR THE RIGHT LOCATION WITH THE RIGHT EQUIPMENT AT THE RIGHT TIME

Before an event theme or agenda is fully developed, prepared companies look for the right location or set of locations to host their special events. That's where Tomko Services comes in. We have a broad and diverse network of event spaces, both traditional and non-traditional spaces, in our contact list to find the right location for your upcoming events anywhere in North America and Western Europe.We work with clients to determine whether the facility they need is simply a functional space to host their event or whether the facility will be a marquee attraction that will highlight and accentuate the style, quality, and theme of the event. We will find the right space that has the right equipment to host your next event.
