BILLINGS, Mont. (AP) — A Bozeman-based high-tech company plans to expand its Billings operations.
Zoot Enterprises CEO Chris Nelson says the company plans to buy the GE Capital building in Billings and hire about 25 people during the next year but that number could increase in future years.
Nelson tells The Billings Gazette that Zoot will also move its Billings computer center, currently located downtown, to the GE building, where it will be more secure.
Zoot was founded in 1990 and developed a system that allows financial institutions to make instant credit decisions on loans. The company has about 260 employees in the Bozeman area and has operations in Switzerland, Germany and London, England.
GE announced last November that it would close its Billings operations center by the end of 2017.
