Continued Company Growth Creates Need For Larger, More Specialized Facilities
Smithfield, RI – November 10, 2011-Due to continuing double-digit growth, Heidelberg Engineering has announced its recent move into an upgraded and custom-built technical services facility in Rhode Island. Following the relocation of their U.S. Corporate Headquarters earlier this year, the technical services division has moved into a new facility specifically built and designed to meet their increased capacity needs. The new space nearly doubles the previous facilities square footage. The continued expansion comes after four years of double-digit growth built on the persistent success of the Company’s leading product, the SPECTRALIS® SD-OCT, a family of multi-modality diagnostic instruments for ophthalmic imaging.
“The strong continued growth of the Company speaks volumes during one of the biggest economic downturns in our nation’s history,” noted Travis Lindsay, General Manager and Chief Operating Officer (COO) of Heidelberg Engineering. “The new facilities reflect our position as the leading innovator of confocal scanning laser technology combined with OCT and will help us continue to provide first-in-class service for our customers.”
