LAS VEGAS— With the assistance of the Las Vegas Global Economic Alliance (LVGEA), four companies that plan to relocate or expand in Greater Las Vegas were approved for state incentives today by the Nevada Governor’s Office of Economic Development (GOED) board of directors.

“TemperPack, WinTech, Nikkiso Cryo, and Wilen represent the economic diversity exploding Southern Nevada.  We are proud to have assisted these companies and appreciate the regional teamwork of our partners in economic development and commercial real estate who help grow and support our business-friendly environment.”

GOED works closely with the LVGEA and other redevelopment agencies across the state to ensure that businesses are able to get the incentives they need to expand their businesses.

“Companies in Nevada continue to expand their operations and new companies continue to move to our state because of the efforts to provide a well-trained workforce and our business-friendly environment,” said GOED Executive Director Paul Anderson. “The state continues to see expansion and growth in many industries diversifying our economy and making our state stronger.”

WinTech LLC, the technology company behind the award-winning ALICE Receptionist virtual receptionist software, is planning to expand its Las Vegas-based headquarters which houses the company’s technology development, world-wide sales and support departments.

“A growing technology company faces many challenges. Those challenges are compounded without local resources to tap for business needs specific to the businesses industry and marketplace,” said WinTech CEO and Founder Mike Yoder. “LVGEA helped our organization find resources for growth we didn’t realize existed. These resources, along with our love of community, were important components to our decision to remain in Southern Nevada as we execute our next phase of growth.”

ALICE Receptionist is a visitor management technology used by hundreds of businesses and government agencies around the globe to greet, register, inform and connect visitors with employees.
