Tuttle and Hypertherm’s Dick and Barbara Couch cut the ribbon outside the
facility’s main entrance. Afterwards, the governor spoke about
manufacturing and business growth in New Hampshire.
“I want more New Hampshire businesses to have the kind of
success that Hypertherm has had in entering new markets in order to make New
Hampshire a leader in selling our services and goods around the world,” Hassan
said. “I believe New Hampshire is as well positioned as any state to lead the
nation in innovative economic growth that will lift all of our people and
define the 21st century. I applaud Hypertherm for being a true corporate
citizen and a great example of the innovation and ingenuity that exists all
throughout the Granite State.”
Guests then toured the new facility, learning first-hand about
the building’s many unique features. In keeping with Hypertherm’s core values,
the building was designed with Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design principals
to both lessen the building’s environmental impact and make the facility
healthier for the Hypertherm associates who work there. It includes advanced
research and development space, training classrooms, and engineering labs.
