Premier Tech’s presence in the United States goes back to the company’s beginnings in 1923. Having reached its first century, Premier Tech now has some 370 team members in over 30 states and five manufacturing facilities, highlighting its commitment to keep investing and growing its presence in America.
In fact, this new plant comes less than a year after the unveiling of the new headquarters for Premier Tech Systems and Automation in Montgomery, Alabama, as well as the expansion of its facility in Salt Lake City, Utah.
