Global Industrial launches ‘Open Space’ initiative

Global Industrial Company announced the launch of its “Open Space” initiative at the U.S. Conference of Mayors’ 92nd Winter Meeting in Washington, D.C. Open Space is an innovative concept created by Global Industrial to support the thoughtful configuration of public and private gathering spaces in an effort to promote communal well-being and mental health. During the conference, Barry Litwin, Chief Executive Officer of Global Industrial, participated in a fireside chat hosted by Mayor Hillary Schieve, President of the U.S. Conference of Mayors and Mayor of Reno, Nevada. Open Space by Global Industrial recognizes that the spaces we inhabit play an important role in the way we interact with others. Fostering a sense of community – whether it is in outdoor parks, hospitals, schools or work environments – can reinforce feelings of connectedness, and mitigate feelings of individual and collective isolation, and in so doing, enhance notions of social responsibility and productivity. The Open SpaceTM concept enables Global Industrial to customize an assortment of products to create environments for its customers that promote reflection and interpersonal exchange.
