Gigaphoton USA Consolidates Its Headquarters Functions in One Location

Date Announced: 21 Mar 2012

Business Management, Logistics and Training Facilities in Beaverton Oregon Designed to Meet 10X Growth in Demand in the USA.

OYAMA, Japan--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Gigaphoton, Inc., has announced the Grand Opening of its new US Headquarters and Training Center, located in Beaverton, Oregon. In an event held on Friday, February 17, which included a facility tour and catered luncheon, Gigaphoton USA hosted over 70 local customers, vendors, business partners, employees and guests, including Beaverton Mayor Dennis Doyle, President of the Beaverton Chamber of Commerce Lorraine Clarno, and the Executive Management Group from Gigaphoton, Inc.

Over the past four years, Gigaphoton USA has increased its laser installed bases by more than 10 times. In December 2010, the company opened a Technical Support Center in Austin, Texas, to provide real-time laser performance monitoring and 24/7 second-line technical support. To better serve its ever increasing installed bases by complementing this Technical Support Center, Gigaphoton USA designed its new facility to include US management, logistics and a training facility in one location.

Gigaphoton President and CEO Dr. Yuji Watanabe commented: “To meet the needs of our growing US-based customers, we decided to expand our US headquarters. This expansion allows consolidation of all management and logistical operations as well as operation and maintenance training capabilities for both single- and dual-chamber lasers in one location. Leveraging our new US headquarters, Gigaphoton is making a strong commitment to address our global customer needs.”
