As part of this partnership, enVista will make an in-kind donation of a portion of its services. Additionally, enVista will provide deep price discounts on hardware technology for the facility. VU LTEC’s partnership with enVista allows the educational center to attain the necessary infrastructure and optimal processes to fully support a self-sufficient shipping operation.
