Enterasys Relocates Headquarters to Andover

March 30, 2003 -- (FIND VPN) -- Enterprise business networks provider Enterasys Networks Inc. (Enterasys.com) announced on Thursday that it will move its headquarters to Andover, Massachusetts, positioning the company as the largest networking technology company headquartered in Massachusetts.

Enterasys says it chose to make the move in order to give the company better access to the technology advantages of the metropolitan Boston area and 128/93/495 corridors. The new headquarters will allow the company to more easily recruit talent from the region, and will provide Enterasys's customer base with easier access to the headquarters through its close proximity to Logan Airport.

"Without question, Massachusetts has been home to some of the greatest technological achievements of our time. Enterasys is proud to add to that legacy," said William K. O'Brien, chief executive officer of Enterasys Networks. "We have spent the past year executing our goals to fundamentally improve our business and our competitive position. It is fitting that we begin a new era for Enterasys at the hub of East Coast technology."

Enterasys has more than 1,600 employees worldwide, and currently employs approximately 350 at the Andover headquarters. The company's Rochester, N.H. operations will continue as an engineering-focused facility for the company.
