That individual will be based at company headquarters in Vero Beach, Fla.
“We will follow that quickly with setting up an office to be located in State of Brunei Darussalam to serve the Asia/Pacific region of the world,” he said. “And then we will open a sales office at a location to be determined within the European Union to serve all of Europe, the Middle East and Africa,” Groom added.
