Rick Scott Announces Vision Systems Headed to Space Coast

On Tuesday, still in France where he attended the Paris Air Show, Gov. Rick Scott announced that Vision Systems, a company based in France that supplies transportation companies, will launch a project in Melbourne which will create 40 jobs and bring $1.2 million to the Space Coast. Melbourne beat out locations in Georgia, North Carolina and Texas to host the 12,000-square-foot facility.

Todays announcement further demonstrates the importance of Floridas international missions, Scott said. Its working. I am thrilled that Vision Systems chose Melbourne for their first U.S. operations. With the creation of more than 330,000 private-sector jobs in just over two years and an unemployment rate below the national average, our economic formula is working to create jobs and opportunities for families.

We felt it was essential for Vision Systems to be located in America, Carl Putman, the president and CEO of Vision Systems said. We feel confident in moving our first American location to Floridas Space Coast. This location will enable us to be closer to our U.S. customers and to expand our business activities in this area. We thank Governor Scott, Enterprise Florida, and the EDC for helping to make this move a great opportunity for Vision Systems, and for Florida families.
