A manufacturer in the fields of measurement, control and automation, Yokogawa Corporation of America is expanding its Newnan, Ga.-based facility in response to increased demand for its product, solution and service offerings. "In the more than 20 years I have worked for Yokogawa here in North America, I have never seen such strong demand for our growing portfolio of products, solutions and services," says said Brad Byrum, vice president of sales and marketing in North America. Bryum credits the ongoing growth directly and indirectly to shale energy, and unconventional oil and gas in general with the accompanying growth of downstream chemical investment. The company also expects to increase its fulltime North American headcount to more than 1,000 by 2015.
