High Tech Welding Company Lands in Volusia County

Interface Welding, a California-based company, 是否有54年生产惯性/摩擦焊接，特别是双金属制造. That may be tech-speak to most of us, 但对一些世界上最大、最负盛名的高科技制造商来说, it is an essential specialty service. 这些高科技制造商的增长和对界面焊接服务需求的增加导致公司的扩张计划，包括在Edgewater的东南Volusia县建立制造工厂. 

“Interface Welding选择Volusia县作为扩展地点在很多层面上都是一个好消息,” said Keith Norden, CEcD, 沃卢西亚团队经济发展公司的总裁兼首席执行官. “Of course, we are pleased to welcome the company to the area, but we are also pleased that in doing so, 我们欢迎为其他高科技企业服务的领先制造商. 这强调了我们精心制定的目标行业标准，并向许多公司展示了我们的社区，Interface Welding的领导将在新兴行业(如航空航天)开展业务.” 

“我们是在一次贸易展上被介绍到沃卢西亚县的，”公司总裁史蒂夫·克雷格说. 

On a subsequent site selection trip to Daytona Beach, 沃卢西亚经济发展公司团队收集了全县可用地点的信息，以及与该地区扩张有关的其他信息. Craig was particularly pleased with Edgewater, both as a community and for the site options available.  

In crystalizing his site selection thoughts, several representatives of Team Volusia, and its community partners, 协助向克雷格提供重要的信息和资源. They included Robin King, President and CEO of CareerSource Flagler/Volusia; Kent Sharples of the CEO Business Alliance; Bliss Jamison of Massey Properties; John Ferguson of Cobb Cole Law; Bob Ludlow of Truist Financial Corporation; and Dwight Durant of Zev Cohen & Associates.

“我们很高兴地欢迎界面焊接公司来到沃卢西亚县,” said Volusia County Manager George Recktenwald. “作为一家在高科技制造领域有着良好声誉的公司, Interface Welding’s team will feel right at home here, 被从沃卢西亚县延伸到佛罗里达中部高科技走廊的整个高科技企业文化所包围.” 

Edgewater经济发展总监Samantha Bergeron也认为Edgewater非常适合界面焊接. “ Of course, 欢迎一家已经在技术驱动技术领域占据主导地位的领先制造商，对社区来说是一个巨大的优势. 重新焕发活力的航空和航天工业使界面焊接离太空海岸和其他重要资产很近,” said Bergeron.

虽然靠近太空海岸并不是一个关键的考虑因素, its potential is not lost on Craig.  “在这个地区做生意和在加州做生意是两回事. 事实上，在埃奇沃特，我们离太空海岸很近，航天工业的主要参与者在这里更容易接近，这将为我们打开一些大门.”

界面焊接是航空航天行业领导者的重要供应商, but its products and services touch many industries. In addition to aerospace applications, 界面焊接是军用和商用飞机制造商的重要资源. 它在火箭喷管和发动机的精密工作中也起着关键作用, ordnance items, nuclear reactors, hydraulics, valves, automotive racing, family cars, oil field drilling and production, cutting tools, turbines, gears, shafts, and many others.

该公司已获得国家航空航天和国防承包商认证计划(NADCAP)认证。, 使其有资格在高科技应用中竞争各种精密制造任务.

NADCAP是基于航空航天供应商使用的特定流程(如化学加工)的公司级别认证, coatings, conventional machining, heat treating, nondestructive testing, and welding, among others. NADCAP认证是一个行业驱动的项目，由具有航空航天业经验的高素质人员进行实际的过程审核, using criteria specific to an actual process.

其中界面焊接产品的技术应用, 其中30个产品搭载在最后一艘火星探测器上，80个部件搭载在旅行者深度探测器上, 这一成就带来了NASA的贺信.

The company will operate from a facility on 1.7 acres in Parktowne Industrial Center in Edgewater. “我们在加州有一栋3万平方英尺的大楼，这已经超出了我们的需求. 但我们致力于佛罗里达，我有一些关键人物想和我一起去."

克雷格说，他喜欢沃卢西亚县的一切，包括商业环境, the proximity to talent, and the quality of life. He is an avid fisherman, a great fit for Volusia County, and his wife is from Brazil; the Craigs like the proximity to Brazil from Volusia County compared to the West Coast. “I like the area. I like the location. I like Edgewater. 我很喜欢和沃卢西亚县的每一个人一起工作."

Interface Welding是一家小公司，未来三年将在当地招募约20名员工. Its capital investment is projected at $5 million. 其年工资为100万美元，平均工资为5万美元.
