"When I met Dr. Pickrell, I knew he and his company would be a great fit for our community," says Screven County Development Authority Executive Director Dorie Bacon. "They make a quality product and I feel like our workforce and the available building made Omega Piezo a perfect match for Sylvania and Screven County. I appreciate the city and county both working with us to make this project a reality."
