Coining has selected SNS Architects & Engineers, PC to design the interior of its new headquarters and manufacturing facility at 15 Mercedes Drive in Montvale, NJ. SNS served as the architect when the building was originally constructed in 1971 and again when the exterior was renovated in 2007. SNS's distinctive building design was a principal factor in Coining selecting 15 Mercedes Drive as the site for its new domestic operation which will consolidate the company's existing facilities in Saddle Brook, NJ and Armonk, NY. SNS is also located in Montvale.

"SNS won this assignment over several other highly qualified architects because of its previous outstanding work on this building and several others in Montvale," remarks Coining's CEO Gary Holcomb. "We are impressed with the quality of personnel at SNS and enjoy working with local service providers who understand local needs, preferences and requirements."

"We are delighted to be associated with Coining on this significant assignment," states John Lignos, a Principal of SNS and Project Executive for the 15 Mercedes Drive project. "Our goal is to design a highly functional and attractive interior that Coining will be as proud of as it is the building's exterior."

The design and construction phases of Coining's Montvale relocation project are projected to be complete in late summer 2010. The company expects to occupy this new facility by the end of the third quarter of this year.
