Bonham, Texas -- A large crowd turned out Wednesday at a groundbreaking in Bonham for what the sign proudly proclaimed will soon be  Intergalactic Headquarters of Vector Systems, Inc.

After testing the waters in Bonham for a little more than a decade, Vector Systems recently announced that the company is relocating its global corporate headquarters from McKinney to Bonham in 2026.

"We've been here 10 years, but the rest of us are coming now and we are excited," remarked Dustin Divinia, President of Vector Systems.

Dustin Divinia, President of Vector Systems, welcomes a large crowd to the groundbreaking for the company's new 18,000-square-foot facility in Bonham.

To commemorate the groundbreaking, Divinia repeated a phrase from the first time Vector Systems turned dirt for its original venture in Bonham: "Today a field...tomorrow a building!"

The new production area will be designed for product assembly before transitioning to tank production at a future date.
