Recently, Howe & Howe Technologies Inc., an extreme vehicle engineering company, outgrew their shop space in Eliot, Maine. The company has since moved into much larger space at 661 Main Street in Waterboro. They leased their new 48,000± SF facility from ATA Realty Group. Tripp Corson and Greg Hastings from NAI The Dunham Group brokered the lease. 

Howe & Howe Technologies, owned and operated by identical twin brothers Mike and Geoff Howe, is best known for the development of the world’s fastest dual tracked vehicle, the ‘Ripsaw’. The ‘Ripsaw’ is an unmanned armored tank that reaches speeds up to 60 mph. The U.S. Military, in particular, has ordered this vehicle from the Howe brothers for its incredible potential to save soldiers lives. Furthering their popularity and exposure, Howe & Howe Tech recently premiered a new television series on the Discovery Channel. (Tuesday nights at 10pm) The show follows the family business as they design and build high-speed military tanks, all terrain rovers and other ingenious machines. With the help of their wives, who also happen to be sisters, the twins work intensely with their talented shop crew to meet stressful production deadlines.

Howe & Howe Technologies leased the Waterboro manufacturing space in order to immediately begin large production orders as well as with the intention to purchase the property within the next few months.
