Endress+Hauser invests $34 million into new, 112,000-square-foot facility.
Endress+Hauser says it officially inaugurated its state-of-the-art Houston campus in Pearland, Texas on October 26, 2021. The company reportedly invested $34 million into the new, 112,000-square-foot facility to strengthen customer support in the Gulf region. Just south of Houston in Pearland’s lower Kirby district, the campus sits right in the heart of the Gulf states.
The new campus is designed with customers in mind, according to the company, and is equipped for training, repair and calibration services. Endress+Hauser support teams, including inside sales and application engineering teams, provide localized technical expertise for customers. The training services include a state-of-the-art PTU (process training unit) where customers can learn about IIoT capabilities and Bluetooth-enabled devices. With 200 Endress+Hauser devices and seven tanks set up for live training sessions, the company says the Houston PTU is the largest training unit of its kind in the U.S.
The campus is also equipped to perform accredited instrument calibration across a variety of measuring principles including flow, level, temperature and pressure. The accredited calibrations can be performed in both the Houston laboratory, and at customer sites with a mobile calibration rig.
The campus was engineered with an emphasis on both sustainability and regional Texas architecture. The building is a LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) “Silver” project as stipulated by the U.S. Green Building Council. This provided a framework for green building design, operation and performance that reflects the company’s value of sustainability, according to Endress+Hauser. To reflect the regional Texas architecture, the designers emphasized responsiveness to the local climate, use of regionally authentic interior and exterior materials and attention to scale.
