Canon U.S.A Celebrates Official Grand Opening Of Canon Americas Headquarters

Empire State Development President, CEO and Commissioner Kenneth Adams also relayed: “The grand opening of Canon’s Americas headquarters is great news for Long Islanders and all of New York State. Empire State Development is working harder than ever to help companies create and retain much-needed jobs and Canon is certainly doing just that with hundreds of new jobs on the way and over 1,000 New Yorkers retaining their positions. As a proud supporter of this project, I congratulate Chairman and CEO Fujio Mitarai and Canon, the local leaders and the people of Long Island on this accomplishment.”

“Canon’s grand opening of its new headquarters in Melville will help strengthen Long Island’s workforce and ensure that Route 110 continues to be a successful business corridor for all Long Islanders,” said Congressman Steve Israel, who was not in attendance. “I proudly fought for federal infrastructure funding to make this project possible and keep jobs on Long Island. Having Canon’s headquarters on Long Island is a victory for our community and is estimated to indirectly bring up to 10,000 jobs to the region. I look forward to Canon’s continued success in the years ahead.”

Suffolk County Executive Steve Bellone also had this to say about the day's events: “Today is a great day as we celebrate the grand opening of Canon U.S.A.’s corporate headquarters here in Suffolk County. Creating and retaining high-quality jobs is paramount to our success as a County and as a region and Canon U.S.A. is contributing to that success. Canon is a welcome addition to the Suffolk County business community and I look forward to continuing to work with our federal, state and local officials to attract and retain businesses on Long Island.”

“The Town of Huntington has long awaited this day, when we can officially welcome Canon and its dedicated workforce to Huntington,”explained Huntington Town Supervisor Frank P. Petrone. “We thank Canon for choosing Huntington as the site for its Americas headquarters and look forward to a long and close relationship as the company cements its status as an integral part of the community and the local economy.”
