Allegro MicroSystems has reached agreement with Brady Sullivan Properties to lease an existing 10,850m2 facility, built on 26 acres, and adjacent to the recently expanded Municipal Airport at Manchester, New Hampshire, USA. The new location will accommodate Allegro's Sensor Business Unit, which will relocate from Concord, New Hampshire. Products built by this business unit are sold to all major automotive and cellular phone manufacturers worldwide.
The Sensor Business Unit currently has a staff of 125 technical and manufacturing associates.
All the jobs located in Concord will move to the Manchester facility.
The new location in Manchester will provide five times the space of the existing facility, thus supporting significant expansion of the technical staff.
"The selection of Manchester reinforces our commitment to New Hampshire", stated Dennis Fitzgerald, President and Chief Operating Officer of Allegro MicroSystems: "Manchester is a vibrant city with a diverse business community, and we believe this location will aid recruiting of top technical talent for our Sensor Business".
