Early in the planning stages of ScanDigital we knew that we wanted our entire operation to be run out of one central facility. As I have mentioned before, we place our customers and their experience at the center of every decision we make…and this was no different when it came to facility and its location. A well-located central facility is a key part of our business for a number of reasons. First, having all work take place under one roof means your materials are shipped to one location, processed and shipped back. Not only do they not leave the country, but they never even leave our facility. Secondly, from a management perspective, it allows us to keep our processing time down and provide the fastest turnaround time in the industry which is very highly valued by our customers. Finally, one well located facility allows us to draw from the most highly trained and talented professionals in the world of digital photography. I could not be more proud of the team and the high quality work they do on a day to day basis.

So a little about our facility…After looking at a number of locations with in the Los Angeles area, we all agreed that Downtown El Segundo was the ideal place to launch ScanDigital. Despite the fact that El Segundo is centrally located within the largest metropolitan area, many of the locals refer to the area as “Mayberry by the Sea” as it is truly a hidden gem within LA and has a nice, quaint small town feeling. Downtown El Segundo is easily accessible from many parts of LA. On a daily basis we have employees commuting in from Santa Monica to the North, Manhattan and Redondo Beach to the South and Hollywood, Downtown Los Angeles and Central LA to the East. This has allowed us to attract and retain a highly qualified and well-trained team, without our well-located facility (and easy access from the 105 Freeway) this task would have been much more difficult. For our facility, we selected a fantastic historic brick building that has been entirely modernized to handle our high-end scanning and computer equipment while maintaining the historic charm. The building sits next to the original city hall site and was the third building ever constructed in El Segundo. Our physical location in many ways mirrors the service we provide: taking materials from generations past and modernizing them while preserving their original appeal.

Starting this weekend, we are now open 7 days a week, providing local customers the ability to drop off orders when it is most convenient to them. For any readers located within the LA area, I would invite you to come visit our facility sometime, we would be more than happy to give you a tour.
