VISION: To be a world class leader in providing innovative storage solutions that allow people to better manage their time, space and security.Spacesaver owes its success to the innovative network character of The Spacesaver Group with the application engineering, sales, installation and service functions carried out by a network of independent small businesses (Spacesaver Area Contractors), and product engineering, manufacturing and marketing functions concentrated in a separate business (Spacesaver Corporation). This combines the financial strength of a large corporation with the entrepreneurial flexibility of small businesses. To assure the Area Contractors’ ability to successfully manage rapidly growing businesses, Spacesaver has established the Spacesaver Institute with educational and training programs ranging from basic product and installation classes, to basic and advanced sales programs, to sales management and graduate business school level management education specifically designed for Area Contractor principals.http://spacesaverintermountain.com/
