Business Boom in West Marisalia
COMPUTECH Breaks Ground on New Production Facility
 
   Wexford Co.- (Aug 9, 1420. Story by Louis Eastborne) Today Marisalia's leading technologycompany, COMPUTECH, broke ground for the long awaited BuildAPhone production facility in Western Marisalia. 
   The new facility is the result of new trade laws introduced by the Ministry of Labor back in June. The new laws require that major companies founded in Marisalia must have a percentage of their production force to remain in the country.
   COMPUTECH was founded by Sir John Blakely in Totford Co. in 1382 and has since grown into Marisalia's leading technology company, with Blakely as Chief Executive Officer. Major products from the company include the BuildAPhone and MicroPC. The company is valued at over two-million notro and this facility will only further increase its value. 
   Wexford has had struggles with unemployment in the past and is currently in the country's top 10 for government assistance. COMPUTECH, however, is optimistic that this new facility will change Wexford for the better.
   "This facility will open up jobs for the entire county and nation," a spokesman for the firm said. "It will provide more than just construction work, but also engineering and producers for BuildAPhone components when the facility opens! This is a win-win for both COMPUTECH and for County Wexford."
