OAKLAND, Maine – Today, FirstPark is proud to announce the newest member of the premier business park in Maine, welcoming Maine Technology Group as its most recent tenant. Celebrating FirstPark’s 25th anniversary in 2023, the business park is in the midst of a major expansion period, supporting business expansion and job creation in a rapidly growing part of Maine.
Founded in 2012, Maine Technology Group provides I.T. support to businesses across the state, building partnerships through service, security and solutions. As a managed service provider, the company focuses on keeping its clients’ systems up to date and fixing any issues that do arise quickly through remote I.T. sessions or in-person visits. Led by President Jon Perkins, who owns the company, Maine Technology Group employs 16 workers and services over 80 clients from Kennebunk to Presque Isle.
Perkins is now moving his entire team to Oakland, building on the momentum that FirstPark has experienced early in its 25th anniversary year. Maine Technology Group was attracted to FirstPark by its close proximity to the interstate highway, the availability of high-speed internet services and a stable power grid. With a larger office space now at his disposal, Perkins expects robust growth for Maine Technology Group in 2023, as he plans to hire three new employees in Oakland while opening satellite offices in Bangor and Brunswick in the coming months.
“I’m thankful for the opportunity to have found such a nice building in FirstPark, with enough existing infrastructure that I can focus on the changes needed inside the building,” said Perkins. “With our new location, Maine Technology Group is positioned to add an additional three employees in Oakland. This will serve as the company headquarters, as we add satellite offices in Bangor and Brunswick soon.”
“We are thrilled to welcome Maine Technology Group to the FirstPark family,” said Jim Dinkle, executive director of FirstPark. “Given our recent growth, I’m confident that 2023 will be a year of unprecedented economic prosperity in our neck of the woods, as successful companies like Maine Technology Group continue to promote the Maine values of entrepreneurship and innovation.”
