Efficiency at its Finest: Clark Logic Success Story
How a growing Michigan family company turned one heating retrofit into a partnership with Cambridge Air Solutions.
Founded in 1969 in Three Rivers, Michigan, Clark Logic has grown from a single warehouse into a diversified industrial real estate and services company. Under the leadership of Owner and President Jamie Clark, the company has expanded to more than seven million square feet of property across West Michigan and Northern Indiana, while building a broad range of capabilities spanning real estate development, transportation and logistics, warehousing, and industrial services.
With high-profile tenants such as Ford and Whirlpool, and aspirations of growing the company to 500 buildings, Clark Logic was looking for a dependable partner for heating equipment that won't become a liability building after building. For Jamie and Clark Logic, that trusted equipment is from Cambridge Air Solutions.
Problem:
As Clark Logic acquired more industrial and commercial buildings — including several older properties — it inherited aging, inconsistent heating equipment. Some buildings were leaky, which made comfort and efficient heating difficult. To continue to scale the portfolio, Clark Logic needed a heating standard it could roll out consistently, rather than solving the same problem differently in every building.
Solution:
Jamie's introduction to Cambridge came about five years ago, when he purchased a property that already had an S-Unit installed. It didn't take long for the unit to make its case. Western Reserve, Cambridge's rep in the region, has supported Clark Logic’s needs and growth ever since.
On the retrofit side, when a building’s heating system is no longer performing as it should, Clark Logic turns to the Cambridge S-Series as the solution. When existing equipment reaches the end of its life, Cambridge is the replacement of choice. For new construction, the decision is just as straightforward: Cambridge has become the standard.
Jamie's confidence in the product was quickly built. He first saw how effectively the S-Series heated a space, then how easily it installed, and finally was sold on its energy efficiency. That combination made it the trusted choice across a fast-growing portfolio. Cambridge's S-Series has also helped address the leakiness in some of the older buildings Clark Logic has acquired, improving comfort and efficiency in structures that weren't built with modern heating performance in mind.
Result:
Cambridge's first new-construction project with Clark Logic was a 624,000 square foot warehouse that was built in two phases where four Cambridge S-Series Units were installed. Since then, the two companies have completed sixteen projects together. The most recent is a new 153,000-square-foot facility outfitted with four S950 units.
With Jamie Clark still pushing toward 500 buildings, Cambridge's S-Series has become the go-to solution for both problems Clark Logic runs into most: aging equipment that needs to be replaced, and new buildings that need heating done right the first time.
Discover the Cambridge S-Series
Cambridge's S-Series large industrial space heater is energy efficient and designed to meet the temperature requirements of large commercial and industrial spaces, eliminating higher ceiling temperatures and uncomfortable drafts. It's built to perform reliably across diverse building types — from older retrofits to new construction — which is what has made it the standard for portfolio owners like Clark Logic managing heating needs across dozens of properties.
