Megasystems Building New $1.5-Million Center In

Boca Raton, Florida

Fast-growing Megasystems, Inc., design- ers and manufacturers of state-of-the-art microprocessor electronic monitoring and control systems is building a full-scale ad- ditional executive and manufacturing cen- ter in Boca Raton, Fla.

The Cleveland-based Megasystems origi- nally planned the new $1.5-million, 26,000- square-foot facility as a headquarters site, but burgeoning sales have forced an alter- ation of the original plans. Under the new plan, the recently enlarged Cleveland facil- ity will continue to service the Great Lakes and Canada. Centered on a five-acre site in the Arvida Park of Commerce, the new

Megasystems facility is expected to be com- pleted by March of 1981.

In anticipation of the formal opening, a temporary sales and hiring center already has been opened to recruit and train quali- fied personnel to staff the new facility.

According to Dean Chimples, president of

Megasystems, the Boca Raton location was selected for two reasons: it is one of the world's largest electronics manufacture and supply centers; and it has fast and easy access to the Caribbean, Europe, the Med- iterranean, and the Gulf Coastal areas—all of them areas in which Megasystems serves major shippers and shipbuilders.

Founded in 1975 to develop complete ma- rine automation systems, Megasystems has fitted more than 3,000,000 dwt of vessels in the past two years and, with the current expansion and in-hand orders, expects to more than double production within the next year.

WOMA Announces New

Sales Brochure On Its

Water-Blasting Equipment

WOMA Corporation of South Plainfield,

N.J., a leader in high-pressure "water as a tool" technology, has a new sales brochure describing their unique industrial cleaning and maintenance systems. Over 25 years of research and development, innovation, and experience has resulted in a wide array of field-proven systems that meet the require- hents of virtually all industries, including shipbuilding, quickly, safely, and efficiently.

Because of the unique properties and ready availability of water, WOMA's systems not only function where strict environmental controls are necessary, but can also save money over other cleaning methods, accord- ing to the manufacturer.

The brochure's cover depicts two of WO-

MA's high-pressure water units, highlighted by their powerful four-gun operation. In- side is a section illustrating some typical

WOMA systems that can range in horse- power from 10 to 500, and feature diesel and electric drivers. Some of the more im- portant and unique features of WOMA sys- tems are detailed, including the WOMA pump, specially manufactured by WOMA for their high-pressure water systems. Another section is devoted to depicting some of the hundreds of WOMA accessories.
