“Addressing our customers’ needs is our primary focus, and having all of our services, from start to finish, consolidated at one facility, where we can streamline the process with even greater efficiency, will only enhance the service our customers have come to expect,” said Dave Prator, vice president southern region, Atlas Copco Compressors.

A dedication ceremony is scheduled to take place at the facility at 10:30 a.m., Friday, May 4.

More than 150 employees are now working at the new center, including 55 jobs that are new to the Houston area. Atlas Copco expects to fill a minimum of 15 additional positions, and there are opportunities to expand operations at the facility as capacity increases.
