Raymond International

Announces Move

To Houston, Texas

Henry C. Boschen, chairman of the hoard of Raymond Internation- al, Inc., has announced that the company's corporate headquarters will be moved to Houston, Texas during the summer of 1972. Ray- mond International, a heavy con- struction, engineering and manu- facturing company with worldwide operations, now has its headquar- ters at Two Pennsylvania Plaza,

New York City.

Mr. Boschen said that the pri- mary reason for the move is to ef- fectively reduce the escalating costs of operating corporate headquar- ters. Houston, he said, was selected as the best of a number of possible locations where operating costs would be substantially lower than those projected for the existing lo- cation. Also, he said, Houston is a strategic site from which to admin- ister the company's domestic and international activities.

Mr. Boschen pointed out that

Raymond International will main- tain a large organization in the

New York area that will be respon- sible for continuing engineering and construction work in the East.

A district office of the Raymond

Concrete Pile Division is presently located in Houston. Arctic Engi- neers and Constructors, a joint venture of Raymond and Global

Marine Inc., has its headquarters in the city. Arctic Engineers and

Constructors is pioneering in the use of air cushion vehicles to per- form engineering, drilling and con- struction work in Alaska and the

Canadian Arctic.

Since joining Electric Boat Di- vision in 1956, Mr. Hyman has held supervisory positions in marine en- gineering and, from 1968 until his present appointment, was chief of planning and estimating for engi- neering and research administra- tion. He is a licensed professional engineer in the state of Connecticut and is listed in "Who's Who in
