About Central Moving & Storage, Inc.

Central Moving & Storage (CMS) was founded and incorporated in October 1985 by James Fontaine.

James acquired his knowledge and experience while growing up in the family owned moving business that his grandfather started in 1920. In 1977, James moved to Florida in anticipation of beginning his own company. Working for a major van lines in Miami, James had the opportunity to move to Orlando and begin what is now CMS. The company logo was designed and the phrase "Founded on a Lifetime of Experience" became a reality.

CMS initially began, as most moving companies, servicing household and office relocations. While the company continued to service these sectors on a local, statewide, national and international level, CMS felt the need to diversify from the "traditional" moving company services. CMS began pursuing the installation and storage of new hotel furniture, design and fabrication of equipment to enhance the performance of heavy rigging relocations, electronics and the distribution of store fixtures (including a major greeting card company on a national level.)

CMS' first large FF&E project began at a local theme park which consisted of 3,045 hotel rooms. Not only was the project a 100% success but just the beginning of a new division for the company. Distribution work now contributes to 60% of the company's gross revenue. The company has not only been a pioneer with the exclusive installation of "Kids Suites", but has also completed the installation of furniture and fixtures on 2 cruise ships in Italy. CMS services a variety of high profile companies.

In order to meet the demands and needs of every sector of business CMS services, the company developed separate divisions with highly trained personnel in each division to cater to the individual needs of the customer, thus insuring the customer receives the highest standard of excellence available in the market place today.
