SeaSense opens new R&D facility
NEWPORT, Tenn. — SeaSense recently opened a new research and design facility in Bonita Springs, Fla., according to a release from the company. In addition to a new research and design department, it also houses a state-of-the-art quality control testing center.
The new research and design operation is dedicated to developing technologies for the marine and trailer industries. The quality control testing center will expand the product testing for products released under the SeaSense brand name.
The research and design facility is the third new plant to be opened by SeaSense’s parent company, Unified Marine, Inc., since 2006 when it opened a 40,000 square-foot headquarters operation in Newport, Tenn. A new 20,000-square-foot warehouse and distribution center opened in 2009 just a few miles down the road.
Unified Marine says the growth is part of an ongoing commitment to improve its overall operations.
“We are extremely pleased to announce the opening of our new Bonita Springs facility,” said David Nirenberg, CEO of Unified Marine Inc. “This new location will allow us to continue the industry-leading innovation and quality control standards that have made UMI the most trusted name in the marine and trailer industries for over a quarter of a century.”
