Advanced Manufacturing
"Our first intention was to purchase the assets of a former Staunton company and relocate them to El Paso, but once we became more familiar with the City, we realized that the people who work here are assets as well," said Troy Schulz, Universal Impact Operations Manager. "Staunton is a good place to do business and this location better connects us to our customer base on the East Coast."
