manufacturer TransAct Technologies Inc. recently moved its corporate
headquarters from its industrial location in Wallingford, Conn. to a
more modern office space in Hamden, Conn. The company also moved its
Eastern Region Repair Center to a new facility in New Britain, Conn.
The move is an important milestone in TransAct’s history as it
allows for the continued growth opportunities, company officials
said.
“Over the last several years, TransAct has experienced growth in key areas of the business,” said Bart C. Shuldman, chairman, president and chief executive officer for TransAct. “As we pursue continued sales growth, both domestically and internationally, we needed facilities that could grow with us in locations where we could attract experienced professional staff. Hamden allows us to leverage the talent base of both New Haven and Fairfield counties, making it the ideal location for our corporate headquarters.” The Hamden facility is centrally located in a corporate center making it more suitable to serve as a corporate headquarters than the company’s previous space. The 11,000-square-foot space will house the executive, finance, human resources, and marketing departments, as well as the TransAct Services Group, point of sale and banking sales team. TransAct will continue to maintain offices in Las Vegas, a manufacturing and engineering facility in Ithaca, N.Y., a sales and service facility in Doncaster, England and its recently-opened international sales office in Macau, China. The 10,000-square-foot New Britain space will house the repair staff and management offices, as well as materials, tooling and machinery for the repair of TransAct’s products. The Eastern Region facility is also responsible for the manufacture of unique legacy components not available elsewhere. “Any time you move an operations center, it’s a challenge and an opportunity,” said Jim Stetson, senior vice president and business manager of TransAct Services Group. “We’re excited at the prospect of using this relocation to reevaluate our workflow and processes to get maximum efficiency out of our floor space and make our staff even more productive. We also enjoyed the chance to build the space to our exact specifications to meet the needs of our growing business.” —Andy Holtmann |
