The new headquarters will be located at Madrone Business Park, which is situated in the northern area of Morgan Hill. This new base of operations will carry out the work currently done in two different buildings in Watsonville. Operations expected to be conducted at the new headquarters include engineering, warehousing, storage, production, executive management, and customer service.
Dan Macleod, CEO and president, stated:
“The new corporate headquarters marks a milestone in Applied Motion Product’s growth. The size, layout and location will allow us to optimize operation.”
Construction of the new headquarters will begin in November and the completion date is estimated for December next year. When the building opens, it will boast a capacity of 20,000 square feet with plans to expand it up to 47,000 square feet. Banner printing on site will likely be used to let the public know about the estimated completion date and what it will look like when complete
The company expects to hire more than 100 new people once the new location is complete. All of the 35 employees currently working at Watsonville will keep their jobs at the new location. Most of the company’s employees live in San Jose, so will have an easier commute to work.
