(eap) The water attraction manufacturer Vortex Aquatic Structures International, headquartered in Montreal, Canada, is expanding its production facilities by a new location in Plattsburgh, New York (USA). The new site, which covers some 50,000-square-foot (over 4,600-square-metres), will enable Vortex to supply customers in the United States more efficiently.
“This expansion is a pivotal moment for Vortex,” emphasizes Stephen Hamelin, President & CEO of Vortex. “It reflects our dedication to meeting the needs of our US customers while supporting the Plattsburgh community through job creation and sustainable practices. We’re excited about the opportunities this new facility will bring to strengthen both our operations and our partnerships across the United States.”
“The North Country Chamber of Commerce has been very pleased to work actively with Vortex in their selection of Plattsburgh as the site for their new U.S. manufacturing operation,” adds Garry Douglas, Chamber President. “They come with an outstanding reputation as a manufacturer in a specialized field and as an employer, and are just the latest company to take advantage of our special role as a site for growth in the U.S. market by Quebec businesses.”
Operations in Plattsburgh are scheduled to begin in the first quarter of 2025. Besides its headquarters in Canada and the regional office in the USA, Vortex is represented in Europe with locations in Spain and the Netherlands (see EAP news of 16 July 2024). The company also has a network of distributors in Asia, the Middle East, Australia, Latin America and Europe. ■
