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.”
