Bloomfield-based Salamander Designs has remained healthy during the COVID-19 pandemic, in more ways than one.
Not only has its 45-employee workforce remained virus free, founder and President Salvatore Carrabba says his business has also been growing.
Salamander designs and manufactures furniture custom made to integrate audiovisual (AV) technology, for both residential and commercial settings. With companies large and small shifting their staffs to working remotely, and with more meetings being held virtually, an increasing number of companies in recent months have begun creating spaces for AV conferencing and collaboration.
That usually means bringing in crews to run wires and mount AV equipment such as monitors, speakers and video cameras on walls or ceilings, which not only is costly and time-consuming but sometimes can require permits and structural improvements. Salamander builds the technology right into its furniture, Carrabba said.
