Arc’teryx: Unlocking Personal Storage for Everyone on the Team
Every role has unique demands, and for employees who don’t work at a designated desk or are frequently off-site, it’s important to have access to secure storage for their personal belongings while at work. That’s why when Arc’teryx, an outdoor equipment and apparel company, approached us to revamp the employee lockers at their distribution center, we were excited to collaborate. With a wide product range from our trusted brands, we transformed the way Arc’teryx did personal storage at their distribution center. Now their team can work in confidence knowing that their belongings are safe and secure when their work takes them away from the office.
Arc’teryx is globally known for providing adventure lovers with the gear and apparel they need to explore nature in any weather. With products that support every outdoor pursuit, Arc’teryx is a go-to in many markets because of the quality and innovation they put into their pieces. With over 1200 employees across the world, Arc’teryx knows the importance of investing in their people and in the spaces where they work.
Arc’teryx operates with the idea that there’s always a better way, and their mindset was no different when it came to their employee lockers. The existing lockers were outdated and showed significant wear. They were also mismatched and lacking cohesion due to additions made over the years. The dark grey, metal construction of the lockers was functional, but it was clear that Arc’teryx’s distribution center needed an upgrade to create stylish, secure storage for their employees.

Arc’teryx and Artopex: A Winning Combination
We were excited to take on this project with Arc’teryx, and we were confident that we had the best product for the job.
Artopex is one of the trusted brands we carry at Source, and they were the first to come to mind when it came to locker solutions. As a manufacturer that consistently strives for innovation and development, Artopex delivers efficient solutions that seamlessly combine aesthetics and functionality, which is exactly what was needed for Arc’teryx’s lockers.

The Locker collection redefines traditional lockers. You can place these lockers along a wall or group them together to achieve a wide range of configurations that suit any workspace. The lockers have programmable locks that reset with every use and come in a range of finishes that can be mixed and matched to suit any aesthetic and style. For this project, we made sure to include wood grain finishes in the design. This brings an element of the outdoors into the space, supporting Arc’teryx’s mission to empower outdoor enthusiasts. The light finishes also brighten up the lunchroom where the lockers live, creating the perfect setting for employees to relax when they come back to the office for breaks.
With these new lockers in place, the team at Arc’teryx’s distribution center now have a stylish, convenient spot to store their belongings, an important part of creating a positive place to work.
Why is Personal Storage Important in a Workplace?
When people think of lockers, they often associate it with schools, gyms, or the local swimming pool, but there are many reasons why this kind of personal storage is important in offices and work environments.
In this project with Arc’teryx, lockers provide distribution center employees, who are always on the go, with a sense of privacy and ownership when it comes to their belongings. Their work takes place outside a traditional office setting, and it’s important that they have a spot of their own to come to before their workday starts, during breaks, and when the day ends.

Arc’teryx is also an advocate for adventure and work-life balance, and by providing lockers for employees, they are empowering those who may opt to engage in activities throughout the workweek. Maybe some employees go on a run every morning, or maybe they want to squeeze in a hike in the evenings. Regardless of their hobbies, lockers are a tool to enable work-life balance by helping employees store what they need to participate in the activities they love.
By investing in upgraded lockers, Arc’teryx is also demonstrating their commitment to supporting their team. They prioritize creating an environment where employees feel respected and valued, knowing that their personal space is secure, and their needs are met. Not only does this approach foster employee satisfaction, but it also promotes a positive workplace culture, reflecting Arc’teryx's dedication to excellence in every aspect of their operations.
