Going strong

I remember the old Canon headquarters at Lake Success in Long Island I also recall when Canon was not one of the "big boys" in the State and when  Nikon was It. How things change.

Canon Celebrates Grand Opening of their new Americas Headquarters

Canon-logo-2012.pngCanon U.S.A. held a grand opening today for their new Americas Headquarters facility in Melville, NY. The new headquarters covers 700,000 square feet, and serves as a, "symbol of Canon's commitment to growth, innovation, and the Long Island community.". It must be noted that Nikon's headquarters are also in Melville, N.Y.

In the press release, Canon notes some fun facts about the new building, including the amount of steel used in its constructions, the number of employees, how many bathrooms there are, how many parking spaces, etc. This is an exciting time for Canon, and I'm sure they're happy to finally complete the facility. Site plans were filed on July 1st of 2008, and groundbreaking didn't start until May 3rd of 2010.
