Scient’x announces relocation plans

Scient’x is relocating its US headquarters to West Chester, Pennsylvania from Maitland, Florida effective end of October 2008. The new, larger facility will house both the commercial and operational components of the US business. It will also have a laboratory and training facility capable of hosting surgeon and sales training, as well as supporting product development and testing, the company said.

Scient’x is also adding a new educational facility in Beaurains, just north of Paris. This facility provides the ability to train up to 50 people at a time. It is anticipated to open before the end of 2008.

Stephane Corp, senior vice president at Scient’x, said: “Scient’x is proud of our rich history founded in education. This new facility will allow us to provide state-of-the-art education to both surgeons and our sales team. This is a vital addition to our wide network of surgeon reference centers and global training courses.”

Michael Huggins, president and CEO, said: “I am very excited about expansion of the US operation. Not only does it help us to better support our customers, it also provides us the opportunity to expand capacity and allows us to educate and train surgeons and sales professionals on both our technology and surgical solutions. This continues the Scient’x tradition of innovation, research and education that we have established worldwide.”
