Posted: August 27, 2019
Hexagon Manufacturing Intelligence (North Kingstown, RI) selected the greater Toronto area for the site of their new Canadian headquarters in Oakville, ON. The interior of this new 15,000 sq ft facility is currently under construction and will house up to 100 employees. The project is slated for completion in the fourth quarter of 2019.
The workplace configuration accommodates a state-of-the-art training center, multiple meeting rooms, and offices for teams in product development, quality assurance, sales, engineering, customer support, and administration. The facility will also include a product showroom serving as a focal point for the most innovative metrology and manufacturing technologies. The location of the new headquarters will allow better service to the Canadian customer base, expansion into new markets, and attraction of world-class talent in the Toronto area, which is the second largest financial center in North America and home to 40 percent of Canada’s business headquarters.
The new office area will feature 18 ft ceilings, glass walls and windows with exceptional views of key areas, all designed in the company’s style themes, colors and company design elements. The floor plan is focused on the employee experience, with contemporary design essentials such as common open spaces, huddle areas, and various employee amenities such as tea, coffee, healthy snacks, kitchen, games area, and proximity to shopping, restaurants and theaters. The office architecture and furniture will foster an environment that empowers team work, problem solving, and a high level of productivity among formerly separate areas of the business.
The investment in this new Center of Excellence confirms a strong commitment to advanced manufacturing in Canada. The company will consolidate all their Manufacturing Intelligence businesses in Eastern Canada into this central location, which includes headquarters for forming technologies development, sales and engineering, MSC Software and teams from the production software and metrology solutions portfolios. In 2018, the company also opened a large regional office called the Hexagon Calgary Campus in Calgary, AB, which serves as the head office for their multiple divisions in Western Canada.
“We are excited to announce our new headquarters in Canada which solidifies our strong commitment to Canadian manufacturers from coast to coast,” stated Michael Gallagher, the president and chief executive officer for Hexagon Manufacturing Intelligence Canada Ltd. “We will offer world-class support for our design and engineering, production and metrology product portfolios, including FTI, PC-DMIS, EDGECAM and Simufact. We will also continue to offer expert-level support and training courses for a variety of in-demand technologies such as scanning and integrated solutions for the Smart Factory, along with FTI industry standard stamping courses. We have also incorporated a large show room to feature metrology scanners, as well as an Autonomous Driving Simulation workstation.”
