BANGOR — U.S. Sen. Susan Collins is scheduled to speak at the Thursday Jan. 20 grand opening of Orono Spectral Solutions, Inc.’s new facility at 689 Odlin Road in Bangor. The event is scheduled to begin at 9:30 a.m.
Orono Spectral Solutions (OSS) is a University of Maine spin-off business. Incorporated in 2004, OSS is a high-tech company that works with the Department of Defense and other entities on projects involving the detection of chemical and biological agents in air and water backgrounds. One recent initiative relates to developing improved methods for detecting petroleum hydrocarbons in industrial waste and produced water.
The company has outgrown its Old Town location, necessitating a move to larger quarters in Bangor.
Other speakers on Thursday will include UMaine Prof. Carl Tripp, the company’s president, along with Vice President for Marketing Dean Smith and James Jensen representing the U.S. Army.
