RMC Advanced Technologies Bertrand said two main reasons he was attracted to Surgoinsville were proximity to his customer base and the fact that the community made him and his Canadian associates feel extremely welcome.
RMC’s main customers in this area are Volvo, Freightliner, Oshkosh, JLG, Peterbilt and Kenworth.
“Because of our positioning in Surgoinsville, we are within 200-250 kilometers (124-155 miles) of our major customers,” Bertrand said. “And, because we are here today, we have another possibility of developing another 60-70 new customers in different industries. It is a great potential for us as we’re developing.”
Bertrand added, “There’s tremendous opportunity on the automobile side, on the windmill side. There’s opportunity on the aerospace side with Airbus and Boeing in the Carolinas.
