Area Development
SEA, Ltd., a worldwide leader in forensic analysis, research and testing, and specialist in failure analysis, expanded its operations complex near the northern interchange of I-270 and I-71 in Columbus, Ohio.

Since establishing its new headquarters and R&D facility in Columbus in 2016, S-E-A has continued to exceed its aggressive growth expectations. With this additional expansion, the company plans to enhance animation and litigation graphics capabilities, increase product testing and ultimately open operations in new markets.

“The Columbus Region is a center for new technology and innovation, particularly in the areas of driverless vehicles and industries of the future,” said Jason Baker, President & CEO of S-E-A. “Columbus’ population growth and our ability to attract top talent also played an important role in our decision to continue to expand here.”

S-E-A specializes in failure analysis, and has worked on projects ranging from routine testing of household products to major accident re-creation. In addition to its Columbus headquarters, S-E-A has 10 other offices around the country, in cities including Atlanta, Baltimore, Charlotte, Chicago, Cleveland, Denver, Ft. Lauderdale, Houston, St. Louis and Tampa.

“We are proud to see a long-time successful business expanding in the community in which it started,” said Columbus Mayor Andrew J. Ginther. “S-E-A is a leader in its industry, and the City of Columbus is pleased to accommodate its continued growth.”
