This new global footprint will give us access to breakthrough technology and support our aggressive growth plans.”

Adds Scott Van Winter, EVP Americas, “This underscores our long-standing commitment to providing customers with next-generation technologies. Our focus is on leveraging our global scale to deliver local advantages for our customers.”

Work will commence immediately and is planned to be fully commissioned by July 2016.
