Blog : What's new ?

EXTENDE Inc. opened in 2011 with just one employee, Vice President Erica Schumacher. During the past decade, EXTENDE Inc. has relocated to Virginia, and our product offerings have greatly expanded, but our staff has not.

Now that is changing too!

We are pleased to announce that Starr D'Auria has just joined EXTENDE Inc. as an NDE Engineer. She has Bachelor of Science in Mechanical Engineering from LeTourneau University, Level II training in VT and UT, additional training in ET, RT, PT and MT plus vendor oversight experience with both NDT and welding. We are very pleased to have her join our team, bringing her enthusiasm, knowledge and interest in continuous learning to EXTENDE Inc..

As part of our commitment to environmental sustainability, we are certified in accordance with ISO 14001:2004. Thus, we monitor our environmental impacts and try to reduce them. For impacts related to travels (visits to customers, training courses, conferences), these are difficult to reduce without damaging our business, so we act through carbon contribution.

We have contributed up to 100% (plus an extra donation due to few travels during the pandemic) of our travels emissions of year 2020 by funding the project "Energy efficiency and thermal comfort of educational buildings in Arkhangai" by the Geres association. You can find more details about this project on their website and in this document.

Set up in 1976, Geres is a development NGO working in Europe, Africa and Asia to improve living conditions and fight against climate change and its impacts. As a field player, the energy transition is a major lever in their action in favor of greater climate solidarity.
