The Harman Signal Processing Business Unit has begun construction of a 50,000-sq-ft Technology Center in Salt Lake City, Utah, which will replace its existing operation and will serve as headquarters for more than 160 employees from the BSS Audio, dbx, DigiTech and Lexicon brands, Systems Development and Integration Group, and the Harman Corporate Technology Group overseeing company-wide R&D for all brands.
‘Utah has been a hotbed for innovation and technology as well as the home to Harman Signal Processing brands for more than 30 years, and we are proud to say it will continue to be so for years to come,’ says TJ Smith, General Manager of the Harman Professional Signal Processing Business Unit. ‘This new facility represents our commitment to ongoing investments and in our operations and our team.’
Designed and engineered with input from Harman team members from various departments, the building will allow greater operational collaboration in order to meet the needs of Harman customers who are moving to more systems-based solutions.
‘We envisage a creative environment optimised for the comfort and productivity of our team members so they can bring their strongest ideas and put forth their best effort in ensuring Harman customers around the world receive optimal service and support,’ Smith says.
The first stage of occupation for the new facility is set for December 2013.
