Dresher, PA—August 22, 2017—Ascensus, a technology-enabled solutions provider that helps more than 7 million Americans save for the future, celebrated the grand opening of its Tucson, AZ office location with a ribbon cutting ceremony.

Ambassadors from the Tucson Metro Chamber of Commerce also joined in the ribbon cutting celebration.

Ascensus’ Tucson office opened its doors on June 5, 2017 and is located in the University of Arizona Tech Park at Rita Road.
