Furniture World Magazine

on

CORT’s Global Network, providing office and home rental furniture and furnishings in more than 50 countries, announced the addition of a new partner, SC Rentamuebles, based in Bogota, Colombia.
 
CORT, a Berkshire Hathaway company, has been the leading rental furniture provider in the United States for almost 40 years. CORT’s Global Network of furniture rental partners in more than 50 countries includes EMEA, Asia Pacific and the Americas.
 
SC Rentamuebles is a family-owned company founded in 1997 by Susana Camacho, a 20-year veteran in the furniture rental industry. Today, the 18-employee company is run by her oldest daughter, Paula Santamaria. The company is based in Bogota, a fast-growing city with 8 million people and a thriving international business community, including a growing number of branch offices for multinational corporations.
 
The CORT Global Network is the only global service provider for furniture rental, serving thousands of customers each year through a single point of contact for furniture solutions worldwide.
 
“Relocating employees internationally can be costly and difficult to manage, both for companies and their employees,” said Kenneth Barron, CORT’s managing director of global relations and client services. “Every member of the CORT Global Network offers prompt and professional service for quality home and office furniture anywhere in the world. The CORT Global Network is a trusted provider for many relocation companies and international corporations. We are proud to welcome SC Rentamuebles into the CORT Global Network.”
 
SC Rentamuebles clients include many international companies and embassies. The company also provides daily furniture leases for temporary sets for the film industry. Services include indoor and outdoor furniture, appliances, kitchen ware, linens and other accessories.
 
“We serve many international companies and embassies that appreciate the benefits of furniture rental,” said Santamaria. “We are proud to join the CORT Global Network of companies helping customers around the world with the quality services.”
 
Furniture Rental Easing Stress and Costs of Global Relocations
 
Companies responding to growing business opportunities rely on international relocations to recruit and deploy talent. More people than ever before are living and working away from their home country. More than 1.5 million workers relocate for their jobs each year, and the number will continue to rise even in a tight economy with the expansion of the global enterprise to seize opportunities in international markets, growing international business relationships and a multi-cultural workforce.
 
The increase in temporary international employee relocations to support a globally mobile workforce is leading many companies and their employees to consider renting homes or apartments as a cost efficient and convenient alternative to hotels.
 
Homes and apartments offer employees and their families the chance to live in a neighborhood that fits their commute to work and their lifestyle preferences, providing a smoother transition and easing the stress of relocation. Having the apartment already arranged with furniture, household goods and accessories adds even greater value to employees and their families, ensuring a better transition that enables the employee to be working and productive immediately.
 
Relocation and Destination Services
For international assignments to the United States, which remains the top destination for such assignments, CORT has the nation’s most comprehensive range of relocation and destination services. CORT’s rental relocation services include hotels, apartments, corporate housing, single family home rentals, destination touring services, utility services, renter’s insurance, car rental, job search assistance for spouses and much more. CORT relocation consultants can assist with virtually any services needed to help employees and their families begin living in new communities.
