Smoking Tents

With the Ohio Smoking ban in place as well as other city and state indoor smoking bans in effect, Celina Tent is pleased to offer our line of event tents to meet smoking shelter needs.

Celina Tent has a wide range of canopies that can be used as a smoking shelter. These smoking tents can provide a cost effective way to protect customers or employees from the elements.
Tents are the ideal solution for businesses that would like to provide shelter for smokers and stay legal. Bars and Taverns can benefit from the atmosphere an outdoor smoking shelter can provide. An outdoor smoking shelter can also provide extra space for bar patrons, while providing them a legal place to smoke.

On December 6, 2006 Celina Tent, Inc. received a requisition from the US Department of Defense/Defense Logistics Agency for 1,200 rapid deployment shelters / humanitarian tents. Celina’s rapid deployment shelter is a general purpose non-tactical shelter designed to offer an economical solution for humanitarian aid in the event of a natural disaster or conflict worldwide. Celina’s 16’ x 16’ shelters are designed to withstand high winds and includes a vented roof, vented sidewalls, and a floor. General purposes include: Medical facilities, billeting, field services, and storage.

Disaster Relief Shelter

The shelters are manufactured at Celina Tent’s facility in Celina, Ohio. Traditionally, Celina Tent, Inc./Celina Industries core business is the manufacturing and distribution of tents, accessories, and products for the event & hospitality industries. Celina Tent, Inc. has been in business for 10 years and is a women owned small business.

CELINA — A small, family-owned tent manufacturing company is expanding after its bid to enter the military & humanitarian tent market resulted in a $3.3 million order. Celina Tent is ramping up to fill a U.S. Department of Defense - Defense Logistics Agency order for 1,200 rapid-deployment shelters, said Janice Grieshop, who co-founded the company with husband Herb in 1996.

“It’s a huge impact on our business. We’re looking probably to put on 15 to 20 (full-time) employees” and expand the company’s facilities, she said Monday.

The Mercer County company had about 35 employees in November 2005 when it learned it was one of several companies approved for an indefinite-delivery contract. The shelters will be manufactured at Celina Tent’s state of the art heat-sealing, hot air, and RF welding facility in Celina, Ohio. Traditionally Celina Tent, Inc. / Celina Industries core business is the manufacturing and distribution of tents, accessories, and products for the event & hospitality industries. Celina Tent, Inc. has been in business for 10 years and is a women owned small business.

The DLA initially guaranteed a minimum order of $25,000. It placed an order for 10 tents in August, then followed up with the much larger order this month, Grieshop said.

Unlike the party tents, tables, chairs, linens, heaters, and other event products the company previously specialized in, the 16-by-16 foot humanitarian tent shelters have full walls, floors, screened opening and stove vents, Grieshop said.
