Quotation mark

Synergy Park is truly a Class A campus-style business park, and everyone on our site selection team was taken aback at how beautiful this park is. While hiring for Camfil, candidates told us they wanted to learn multiple roles across several departments. This versatility has been a huge asset, giving us one of the best work forces I’ve seen in my career of overseeing 40 plus manufacturing sites.
