Contec Americas has decided to invest $6.3 million into an expansion program in the US, which includes spending on new headquarters location in Melbourne, Florida.
The company says the decisions are being driven by “rapid growth” in the industrial internet of things market and record sales.

Its investment of $6.3 million in the new facility in response to its “continued growth in the embedded systems, input-output board, and IIoT markets”.

“As the demand for machine-to-machine communication and IoT grows, we’re seeing a rapid increase in the need for processing power to support it. Our new facility gives us the space and expanded infrastructure to accommodate the growing needs of our current and new customers. It also provides a desirable location for recruiting new talent.”
