said Washington Gov. Jay Inslee.
Washington's favorable business environment and proximity to key customers played central roles in the decision-making process regarding the location of Echandia's new facility. The company is excited to provide new jobs in Washington and become a more prominent player in North America's expanding maritime electrification market.
