DORMA, an international manufacturer of premium access solutions, heralded an expanded presence in western Canadian markets January 29 with a reception at the Shangri-La Hotel, Vancouver. The reception featured the Shangri-La's installation of a new entrance with Crane Revolving Doors by DORMA, and introduced a group of regional industry leaders to the company's international products and services.

About 30 real estate developers, property managers and A&D professionals joined DORMA Americas President Wil VandeWiel, Crane National Sales Manager Angus MacMillan, and other company officials for the reception. Angus MacMillan also conducted a for-credit continuing education course held in Vancouver the following day.

The revolving door installation reflects more than 60 years of development in Crane Revolving Doors by DORMA, a pioneer in revolving door technology.

Crane products, available in hundreds of configurations to meet virtually any entrance application, incorporate a wide range of glass, metal, and finish options as well as designs, sizes, accessories, and attachment plans.

Crane is among the only manufacturers in the world still offering a fully formed and welded product. Because building owners, architects and design teams put great emphasis on the main entrance, revolving doors are widely favored for the exceptional first and last impressions they provide. Revolving doors not only provide beautiful entries but also add the value of a highly energy-efficient alternative.
