The move allows NTS’ San Antonio branch to increase its office space as well as yard storage area for outside storage. Among the office space increases will be a modern training facility used to promote NTS’ core training offerings.

“This property will be a first-class facility that will allow us to continue to expand our market presence in San Antonio,” said Ron Chilton, president of NTS. “San Antonio has been a strong market for NTS for many years. Our continued growth in this market and increased training offerings meant we needed a larger facility to accommodate our current and forecasted growth.

“This is the second branch relocation we’ve done this year. The new San Antonio location was needed because our team had simply outgrown the operational capacity of its existing location. The San Antonio team has done a tremendous job servicing our customers and we’re very fortunate to be expanding this operation.”

NT has 24 branch locations across the United States and plans to open several additional branches in 2015.
