On 6 June SEICA inc. has officially inaugurated the new North American headquarters in the Ward Hill Business Park East of Haverhill, Massachusetts. At the ribbon-cutting, June 6, many Haverhill local authorities were present and have expressed their enthusiasm for the new presence of Seica Inc. in their area. “This is their new North American headquarters and their plans are to hire as they grow.

The opening of this new headquarters of Seica Inc. is the expression of the success and importance of the American market for our company.”
“Seica Inc. is a very important reality for Seica group, has grown from a couple of employees to 23 full-time employees nationwide with other offices in Texas and Mexico. Most are highly skilled, multi-degreed engineers and sales managers”, Barbara Duvall, said.
