"We look forward to growing our operations and workforce in Licking County."
"xperion's decision to open a new U.S. facility in Heath speaks to the Region's ability to attract global companies and provide the right mix of customer and workforce access," said Dan Evers, Director of Economic Development, GROW Licking County Community Improvement Corporation.
