"We are excited about breaking ground on our new headquarters in Portland, which reinforces WEX's commitment to Maine for decades to come," said Bernie Kavanagh, senior vice president and general manager of North America large fleet and strategic relationships for WEX. "Eventually, this site will be home to at least 450 of our employees across all lines of business, including WEX Fleet — with the potential for another 200 as we continue to grow and expand."
