Business Oregon Director Sophorn Cheang, Oregon Innovation Council Chair Jenn Lynch, and Business Oregon staff visited the Onboard Dynamics headquarters in Bend, OR to congratulate them on this prestigious award. The team was pleased to host Business Oregon during their visit.  Rita Hansen, CEO of Onboard Dynamics, and Michael Colliander, one of the Field Service Technicians walked The Business Oregon team through company mission, future vision, and the inner workings of the GoVAC® FLEX and GoVAC® MAX systems.

A prototype of the GoVAC® MAX platform was displayed for the Business Oregon team to observe. This new product is equally as flexible as the GoVAC® FLEX platform, but it has higher flow rates for fast evacuation of large projects and can complete them in shorter timeframes. The GoVAC® MAX system is a big step in the right direction for Onboard Dynamics and preventing methane emissions during pipeline blowdowns.
