Endress+Hauser’s new Customer Experience Centre will be located just steps from the company’s existing headquarters in Burlington – 1075 Sutton Dr.
The $28 million expansion will be two storeys tall and hopes to achieve the LEED – leadership in energy and environmental design – Gold certification standard, and to function on a net-zero carbon and net-zero energy basis.
According to a recent press release, “The new facility, planned for occupancy in the fall of 2020, will be a full-fledged customer experience centre featuring the company’s second process training unit (PTU) in Canada, as well as other world-class customer features such as a calibration laboratory, an expanded workshop and a large training centre.”
