Situated in a bustling commercial zone in Albuquerque’s North Valley just a half mile north of its old facility, Vibrant’s new headquarters offers significant room to grow. The 8,100 sq. ft. building accommodates Vibrant’s staff and equipment for its engineering, testing services, and production operations and Vibrant’s growth isn’t done yet.
