PHOENIX, October 5, 2017 – After a six-month, extensive site selection process, global design, engineering and manufacturing leader Benchmark Electronics (NYSE: BHE) today announced its new corporate headquarters will be located at Rio 2100, a new 52-acre, Class A office park situated in the heart of Tempe, Arizona. 

The company announced relocation plans to Arizona from Angleton, Texas in April of this year and expects to add approximately 500 new jobs to the greater Phoenix area over the next five years.

Groundbreaking for the new site is expected to begin before the end of the year with an expected completion date in early 2019.  In the interim, Benchmark’s headquarters is at 4141 N. Scottsdale Rd.

The current and new headquarters will house the corporate leadership team and key corporate functions in finance, human resources, legal, marketing, operations, and supply chain. Benchmark’s Internet of Things (IoT) and RF and High-Speed Design Centers of Innovation will also transition to the new location.

“This is an exciting time for our company as we look forward to our new headquarters, which will allow us to grow in a single, cohesive location,” said Paul J. Tufano, president and CEO of Benchmark Electronics. “Rio 2100 is an ideal location to drive organizational alignment and attract and develop top-notch talent, as already evidenced in our strategic partnership with Arizona State University.”
