Within a year of opening its first US location, the company's faster-than-expected growth has already necessitated an additional 250,000-square-foot operations facility in the Savannah area, complementing its initial 385,000-square-foot US Equipment Processing Center (EPC) just a mile away. With this strong foundation established on the East Coast, the company is now building on its momentum by expanding to Tacoma, Washington.
