Global tech leader and Orica Monitor company GroundProbe is planning to establish its second manufacturing operations in Tucson, Arizona.
The new facility marks a new milestone in GroundProbe’s efforts to expand its manufacturing capabilities and to better serve its customers in the Northern hemisphere.
The expansion also comes following the company’s significant growth over the past few years.
Announcing the company’s plans at the recent International Slope Stability Symposium in Arizona, GroundProbe CEO David Noon said the new facility will begin operating in early 2023.
“As our global footprint and customer base continues to grow, so too does the volume and variety of products that we produce,” Noon said. “We saw it as an absolute necessity to bolster our offering and extend our manufacturing capability from Asia Pacific to the Americas.”
“It means that from early 2023, we will be able to more readily deploy our safety-critical systems – systems that are integral to their ongoing operations and productivity – to our Northern hemisphere customers.”
The company’s second manufacturing facility in the continent marks a significant step for GroundProbe’s future growth, especially in North and South America, said Ben Moke, GroundProbe’s chief commercial officer and vice president for the Americas.
“It’s central to our customers, and it’s close to a number of geotechnical consulting firms and university partners, including the Geotechnical Center of Excellence at the University of Arizona,” Moke said.
“The second facility will manufacture every one of our products to the same level of quality that we are known for and that is expected of us as market leaders,” Moke added.
