7/17/2009, Quincy, MA — J. Calnan & Associates, Inc., one of New England’s leading construction management firms specializing in world-class pre-construction services and challenging construction projects, recently celebrated a ribbon cutting for Cognex in Natick, MA. Many dignitaries and town officials joined Cognex, JC&A and Gorman Richardson Architects for this important project milestone.
Cognex, a company that serves an international customer base from offices located throughout North America, Europe, Japan, Asia and Latin America, and through a global network of integration and distribution partners, shut down a plant in Duluth, Georgia this past March.
