La Crosse, WI – Today, CompRex, LLC held the ribbon cutting ceremony for its new facility located at the Coulee Region Business Center (CRBC) in La Crosse, Wisconsin. This location will serve as CompRex’s new headquarter and features state-of-the-art manufacturing equipment allowing the production and testing of highly advanced brazed and diffusion bonded compact heat exchangers and heat exchanger reactors.
CompRex worked closely with the City of La Crosse through the La Crosse Area Development Corporation and the CRBC to achieve this new milestone in the young company’s growth.
“This move to the CRBC site is very important for CompRex,” said Dr. Zhijun Jia, founder and CEO. “Having an in-house facility will provide us the freedom needed to conduct further R&D with new materials and manufacturing techniques for our heat exchangers and reactors.”
Dr. Jia continued, “We are humbled and overwhelmed by the support we have received from the local community, and we are determined to stay in La Crosse as we grow and do our best to give back, whether it’s through job and internship opportunities for local talents or as a source of assistance for other small manufacturing start-ups in the area.”
