BUFFALO GROVE, Ill., Aug. 4, 2020 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- TPC Training, the leader in workforce training, performance, and compliance solutions, announced today the acquisition of Simutech Multimedia, a provider of simulation based training for maintenance and operations professionals across a wide range of industries.
