Framatome this week celebrated the grand opening of its Nuclear Parts Center (NPC) at the expanded Solutions Complex in Campbell County, Virginia. The NPC provides the nuclear energy industry with 24/7, year-round access to an extensive spare parts inventory, guaranteed stocking programs, supply chain management and technical support. Over the past year, Framatome expanded its Solutions Complex on Mount Athos Road to house the NPC, which was previously located on Old Forest Road in Lynchburg, Virginia, behind the corporate headquarters building.

"This move further demonstrates our commitment to the greater Lynchburg region, which has been home to our company for more than 50 years. It also makes available a facility that has the flexibility to suit any number of companies interested in relocating to or expanding within the region."
