The new investment is intended to “upgrade” the work space, expand service capabilities and make the company more attractive to potential hires, according to a Partnership Gwinnett release.The new jobs will take the workforce from its current 140 to a headcount of 190.

“Gwinnett’s diverse economy continues to be a draw for international leaders like Barco,” said Gwinnett County Commission Chairman Charlotte Nash in a release. “We are always happy to see an existing company expanding and reinvesting in Gwinnett. It’s a true testament to the strength of our business community.”
