Canon is moving. One Canon Park, located in Melville, New York is now consolidating nearly 1,400 Canon employees into one central location, and is the company’s new headquarters.

The facility, which is situated on 52 acres, totals nearly 700,000 square feet and also includes two multilevel parking garages with covered walkways from the garages to the building.

One Canon Park  is located approximately 16 miles east of its current headquarters in Lake Success, New York. Remaining on Long Island was a top priority to help retain the highly skilled and dedicated workforce, says Canon.

Nearly half of all Canon U.S.A. employees have relocated to the Melville headquarters, while the remaining employees are expected to complete the move in March.

The new headquarters will serve all North and South American countries and will be one of Canon’s three worldwide headquarters, with the other two located in London and Japan.
