Prior to the ribbon cutting ceremony, KBR's board of directors toured the Johnson Space Center and got a firsthand look at mission control and the Orion Spacecraft as well as numerous projects on which KBRwyle is supporting NASA in its mission for space exploration. The visit further signifies the importance of this business segment to KBR's overall strategy and focus.
"Along with this office, this event is also a celebration of KBRwyle, our new brand for government services. This marks KBR's expansion into higher end, technical services for various U.S. government agencies, including NASA—one of our major clients here," said Bradie. "The addition of KBRwyle to the team is already proving to be a great fit by providing new opportunities for larger KBR business."
