These will support advanced technology markets that meet the rigorous requirements of the customers and markets of today and the future.
The company plans to initially hire 25 people, many of whom are sure to require business card printing services, with more planned as the operation expands. President of Gelest, Jonathan Goff, said that the company will be recruiting from local universities and leveraging the expertise in the local workforce. He added that the company is supporting business in this country to help fortify its supply chain for the materials in demand for advanced manufacturing.
