Bauco team members with some of their products
VICTORIA – Bauco Access Panel Solutions manufactures panels that give access to mechanical components in walls and ceilings, and they’ve won loyal customers locally, in North America, and the Caribbean.
Over 22 years Bauco has grown to more than 60 employees in three buildings in Esquimalt. The company has enjoyed steady growth, although 2020 has been a challenge.
“We did not lay anybody off during COVID even when orders fell dramatically in April,” founder Walter Riemann notes. “We took care of our team and their families with a few weeks of reduced hours at full pay, and extended sick days. We continue to hire team members with skills in manufacturing, operations, marketing, product design, customer service to contribute to the company’s growth.
Bauco works closely with architects and contractors. “Customers love our access panels because they’re virtually invisible and solve a lot of problems in high-quality buildings” Riemann notes. “But we also customize the size and shape of the panels for a customer’s needs, and staff go the extra mile with customer service.” He quotes longtime New York City customer, Josh Wiener of Silverlining Construction, “Bauco’s access panel is the one product we cannot live without.” (Pro-Remodeller Nov 2020 p.63)
