MCLB Support Company Wyle Opens New Facility
Friday, September 20th, 2013
A privately-held company that’s been operating in Albany for about two years, cut the ribbon Thursday on its new facilities at 235 W. Roosevelt Ave.
Since 1949, Wyle has been involved in aerospace and information technology, especially in service to the federal government, Wyle officials say. City and county officials were present at the event, as well Marine Corps representatives and members of the Albany Area Chamber of Commerce.
Peter Green, president of Wyle aerospace group said the purpose of the Albany office is to enhance day-to-day communications and life-cycle management support for customers at the U.S. Marine Corps Logistics Command, the U.S. Marine Corps Systems Command, Program Executive Office Command Support & Combat Service support, and the Project Manager Mine Resistant Ambush Protected Joint Project Office.
“The program that brought us here is the Mine Resistant Ambush Protected Vehicle (MRAP) that was developed for taking our troops into harm’s way,” Green said.
