The facility is one of the company’s nine networked and inter-connected technology centers around the world. The new center reportedly houses a diverse group of geologists, scientists and engineers and will provide a place to ideate and innovate.
The grand opening was celebrated at the facility with a formal ribbon cutting with Georgia State Senator John Albers and the French Consul General Louis de Corail, as well as many customers, global colleagues, industry partners, and academia.
