Enterasys Moves to NH (And Brings Jobs)

Published Wednesday Jan 11, 2012

Enterasys, a Siemens Enterprise Communications Company and a global provider of hardware, software and communication services, is relocating from Andover, Massachusetts to 9 Northeastern Industrial Drive in Salem, bringing 540 jobs to the Granite State. While the L2/L3 Ethernet switching market has been growing about 3 percent per year, Enterasys grew in double digits through the first three quarters of 2011, according to recently published Dell'Oro market reports.

Less than an hour from Boston, Enterasys will occupy roughly 190,000 square feet in Salem. Construction on the space will begin in April with occupancy scheduled for January 2013. The company also has plans to hire about 80 new employees once up and running.
 
We have been aggressively growing our business over the past eight quarters, said Chris Crowell, president and CEO of Enterasys. The move to New Hampshire will reduce our costs and allow us to increase our investment in strategic initiatives in R&D and in customer-facing areas.
 
This is the right building and location for our growing company, Crowell said. And New Hampshire's low tax, business-friendly attitude is a great match for our company's long term growth."
 
Enterasys will be able to continue its growth trajectory in this move from Andover to Salem, and the company will save on real estate costs and taxes by moving to New Hampshire, said Michael Bergeron, business development manager for the state's Division of Economic Development. Bergeron was in charge of wooing the Massachusetts firm to head north across the border. We are very excited about this big move, he said.
 
While other networking vendors have struggled over recent quarters, Enterasys has outpaced its competition with consistent growth and record sales. The company claims it has more than 18,500 customers in 80-plus companies. To learn more about Enterasys, visit www.enterasys.com.
