“For the past 40 years, Southern California’s McMurray Stern has remained an industry leader in the world of storage solutions. Quickly evolving to fit an ever-changing world, especially during the COVID-19 pandemic, their leap into forefront robotics and automation of storage systems has given McMurray Stern the title of being one of the best.
Though there has always been a market for companies like McMurray Stern; yet, a greater demand has arisen because of the COVID-19 pandemic. During the pandemic this past year, the need for certain items had decreased because consumers did not see a need for them.
Many people were forced to stay indoors at home, ordering more goods online from the likes of Amazon while not venturing out to retail stores unless it was an absolute necessity. As a result, physical stores had to reinvent themselves by venturing into the world of e-commerce in order to stay afloat, which led to an extreme shortage of commercial real estate across the US.
“We are driving our newer automation business to match the current explosive growth that the industry is currently experiencing,” said Pat Fitzpatrick
That’s when McMurray Stern came in to help save the day of the looming real estate and crisis. Today, McMurray Stern’s current focus is on the shortage of commercial real estate adapting to space across the country.

McMurray Stern’s products are designed to help you store and retrieve items and materials with improved accuracy and speed.”
