Steve Voudouris, CEO of Turn5, a leading e-commerce retailer for aftermarket automotive parts, celebrated a major milestone with the grand opening of the company’s new, expansive headquarters in Paoli, Pennsylvania. This move signifies Turn5’s impressive growth trajectory under Voudouris’s leadership.
Turn5, known for its popular websites AmericanMuscle.com, ExtremeTerrain.com, and AmericanTrucks.com, caters to passionate car enthusiasts.
The new 90,000-square-foot facility officially opened its doors on January 8th 2018. The guest list reflected the significance of the event, including stakeholders, local officials, and even Pennsylvania Governor Tom Wolf, a self-proclaimed Jeep enthusiast.
Voudouris’ Vision for a Collaborative and Fun Work Environment
Voudouris, along with co-founder Andrew Voudouris, addressed the crowd during the opening ceremony. They expressed their gratitude for the dedicated team and their excitement about the new headquarters. Notably, the ribbon-cutting ceremony was replaced by a symbolic act – a truck and a Jeep pulling apart a ribbon attached to their front ends, a reflection of Turn5’s unique style.
The new headquarters embodies Voudouris’ vision for a collaborative and fun work environment. The space features state-of-the-art video production facilities, a “Turn5 Timeline Wall” showcasing the company’s journey, and a mural depicting the company’s core values. The building also boasts amenities like coffee bars made from recycled shipping containers, a bowling alley, a digital golf simulator, and outdoor recreation areas.
Voudouris and the Brothers’ Entrepreneurial Spirit
Voudouris and his brother Andrew, who started Turn5 in their basement in 2003, were lauded for their entrepreneurial spirit and leadership. They credited the company’s success to its dedicated team of 450 employees.
“The Turn5 team cares about every project we work on,” emphasized Steve Voudouris. “We care about making ourselves better each and every day. We care about the people we work with, the company as a whole, and the community that we live and work in.”
Voudouris continued, highlighting the unique company culture: “We don’t have the most years of experience. Most of us did not go to prestigious colleges. But we care greatly about what we do. We’re persistent and incredibly determined, and that’s what’s special about Turn5.”
Turn5’s Impact on Chester County
Governor Wolf, impressed by Turn5’s growth and commitment to job creation, offered his support and recognized the company’s contribution to the state. Local officials echoed the sentiment, with Michelle Kichline, Chairwoman of the Chester County Commissioners, praising Turn5’s innovative spirit and the company’s decision to expand in Chester County.
Turn5’s new headquarters marks a significant chapter in the company’s success story. Under Steve Voudouris’ leadership and the dedication of its team, Turn5 is poised for continued growth, fostering a passionate car enthusiast community and driving positive change in the region.
