高科技焊接公司落户沃卢西亚县

接口焊接, 总部设在加利福尼亚的公司, has been producing inertia/friction welding with particular emphasis on bi-metal fabrications for 54 years. 对我们大多数人来说，这可能是技术术语, but to some of the world’s largest and most prestigious high-tech manufacturers, 这是一项必不可少的专业服务. Growth among those high-tech manufacturers and increased demand for 接口焊接 services has led the company to expansion plans that include establishment of manufacturing facilities in Southeast Volusia County at Edgewater. 

“接口焊接 choosing Volusia County as an expansion site is great news on many levels,Keith Norden说, CEcD, President and CEO of Team Volusia Economic Development Corporation. “当然, 我们很高兴地欢迎该公司来到这个地区, 但我们也很高兴这样做, we welcome a leading-edge manufacturer that serves other high-tech enterprises. This underscores our carefully crafted target industry criteria and it presents our community to many companies with which the 接口焊接’s leadership will be conducting business in emerging industries such as aerospace.” 

“We were introduced to Volusia County at a trade show,” said company president Steve Craig. 

在随后的代托纳海滩的选址之旅中, Team Volusia Economic Development Corporation assembled information about sites available throughout the county as well as other information relative to expansion in the area. 克雷格对埃奇沃特特别满意, 既可以作为社区，也可以作为站点选择.  

将他的选址思想具体化, 沃卢西亚队的几名代表, 以及它的社区伙伴, assisted in presenting important information and resources to Craig. 包括罗宾·金, President and CEO of CareerSource Flagler/Volusia; Kent Sharples of the CEO Business Alliance; Bliss Jamison of Massey Properties; John Ferguson of Cobb Cole Law; Bob Ludlow of Truist Financial Corporation; and Dwight Durant of Zev Cohen & 的同事.

“We are pleased to welcome 接口焊接 to Volusia County,沃卢西亚县县长乔治·雷克滕瓦尔德说. “As a well-established firm in the high-tech manufacturing arena, 接口焊接的团队在这里会感到宾至如归, surrounded by an entire culture of high-tech enterprises that stretch from Volusia County and along Central Florida’s High Tech Corridor.” 

Edgewater Economic Development Director Samantha Bergeron also sees Edgewater as a perfect fit for 接口焊接. “当然可以。, welcoming a leading-edge manufacturer that is already a player in tech-driven technologies is a big plus for the community. And the re-energized aviation and aerospace industries puts 接口焊接 in close proximity to the Space Coast and other important assets,伯杰龙说.

While proximity to the Space Coast was not a critical consideration, 克雷格也注意到了它的潜力.  “Doing business in this area and doing business in California are two different things. The fact that in Edgewater we are close to the Space Coast and that major players in the aerospace industry are more approachable here will open some door for us.”
