Massachusetts tech firm expanding to Belfast
Ashland, Mass.-based OnProcess Technology said Monday that it is expanding to Belfast, with plans to hire 50 employees and support capacity for an additional 300.
The supply chain management and optimization company, which also has locations in India and Bulgaria, said in its announcement that it's expanding to Belfast in order to support growing demand from its wireless, broadband, technology and medical clients.
OnProcess Technology is planning to open at the former MBNA facility on Schoodic Drive, where it has signed a 5-year lease for 35,000 square feet, according to a separate announcement by Gov. Paul LePage. The governor's office said the company is investing more than $2 million in new equipment and employee training, among other things, for its new service center.
"Our managed services business has been growing steadily, thanks to the volume of companies turning to OnProcess to improve their post-sales customer experiences and reduce costs,” Ed Barry, CEO of OnProcess Technology, said in a prepared statement. "As a Massachusetts-based company, we wanted to expand in New England, and Belfast was the ideal location."
"Not only were we attracted by Belfast’s vibrant business community and highly skilled workforce, its proximity to major universities, several of which have supply chain curricula, also make the area great for recruiting employees," he added.
Barry said he credited Maine’s state government, the city of Belfast and relocation consulting firm Maine & Co. with helping the company find a suitable facility.
"Maine & Company has been privileged to work with OnProcess Technology over the past year. The level of cooperation from the state and local partners has been extraordinary," Peter DelGreco, Maine & Co.’s president and CEO said in a prepared statement. "We are excited for OnProcess Technology's growth plans and the work environment they will create. This is a fast-growing, energetic company that we are thrilled to welcome to Maine's business community."
