And, we have built a foundation for our company under one vision and set of values that have a laser-focus on our customers,” said Blom.
The company’s new headquarters houses engineering and manufacturing under one roof. “We are excited to welcome our customers and partners to our newly expanded 5,200-square-meter state-of-the-art facility to experience our technologies, capabilities, and customer-centric approach to innovation and integrated solutions,” said Rolf Michiels, Head of Project Sales for Votech.
