BRIDGEWATER, N.J.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Huawei, a leading global information and communications technology (ICT) solutions provider, today announced that it will hold a Ribbon Cutting ceremony on Friday, July 29th to mark the official opening of its Northeast regional headquarters office in Bridgewater, New Jersey. In addition to sales, services, and operations to deliver on the company’s customer-centric promise; the Bridgewater, NJ facility is also the North American Research & Development (R&D) hub for wireless technologies.
Huawei’s R&D activity in New Jersey not only augments the company’s global leadership in next-generation (LTE) wireless technology developments, but also allows for unique technology customization to meet specific North American carrier requirements.
New Jersey Lt. Governor Kim Guadagno, who attended the event, commented that “Huawei’s growth in New Jersey, from 4 employees in 2008 to now over 110, exemplifies high tech companies that have made New Jersey a center for innovation.”
“We are truly honored to have the Lt. Governor attend our celebration,” said Charles Ding, President of Huawei North America and Co-President of Huawei USA. “With the opening of the Bridgewater facility, we will continue close collaboration with U.S. technology partners, suppliers and vendors, as well as research-oriented universities to deliver world-class integrated solutions to our U.S. customers.”
Nationwide, Huawei currently has nearly 1,500 U.S. employees, with over 110 employees in New Jersey – a number the company anticipates increasing by at least 50 percent over the next three years as the company continues to tap New Jersey’s best and brightest to help guide greater success. Huawei takes pride in having contributed to the development of New Jersey innovators, with Princeton and Rutgers being among American universities that have benefitted from Huawei’s program sponsorships – which totaled more than $10 million in 2010.
