FARGO, N.D., Dec. 10, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Integreon, a leading global provider of outsourced legal, document, business and research support, today announced the opening of a larger delivery center for its expanding operations in Fargo, North Dakota.

The facility will also continue to provide Integreon clients with high-quality 24/7 outsourcing services as an integral part of the firm's network of global delivery centers, including in New York, Boston, Washington, DC and around the world.

A ribbon cutting ceremony for the new Fargo facility was held at 11:00AM CST today, with participation from state and local officials, members of the business community and the news media.

"Integreon is excited to expand our presence in Fargo and we are deeply appreciative of the support we've received from business partners, community leaders and elected officials," said Gogel. "Our Fargo operation is a key element of the firm's commitment to providing unparalleled value to our clients, both here in the US and globally, including innovative, transformational solutions that address the challenges posed by today's increasingly globalized economy."

Lt. Gov. Wrigley commented, "North Dakota has the fastest growing economy in America because we work hard to provide a positive and diverse business environment. Integreon is a leading global provider of professional support services and their decision to expand their global delivery center in North Dakota is an exciting example of our broad-based economy and its strong prospects for further growth."

The 34,000-square-foot facility will consolidate almost 350 Integreon Associates from two existing facilities in Fargo. The firm has played a vital role in the Fargo community since 2001 and has seen substantial growth in recent years, including the hiring of 150 new Associates over the last three years. Integreon's larger facility will enable significant continued growth, including plans by the firm to hire up to as many as 100 additional Associates in 2015.

Integreon's Fargo operation has received economic development incentives from the state of North Dakota and the Greater Fargo Moorhead Economic Development Corporation's Growth Initiative Fund. Other key partners include PACES Lodging Corporation, one of Fargo-Moorhead's leading developers, who handled construction of the new facility, and Cornerstone Bank.
