Recent California expansions into Richardson

Jan 28, 2015

REDP has focused its recruitment efforts on California the past year. Here is a summary of three California companies who recently expanded to Richardson and the reasons behind their decisions.
 

This Emeryville, CA-based
healthcare analytics solutions company relocated its North Texas data hub to Richardson in September. According to
Chairman and CEO Andrew Hurd, “Richardson was a perfect choice for
MedeAnalytics because of its long-standing focus on innovative solutions and
insights for the world’s leading tech companies. The location also gives
MedeAnalytics proximity to UT Dallas, which will be a pipeline of future talent
for the company.”  MedeAnalytics moved
100 employees to the new campus in September with plans to continue adding
more. 

 

Headquartered
in Milpitas, CA, e2v inc., (parent company e2v Global is HQ in the UK) provides
high-performance systems and equipment for electronic systems in civil
aerospace, defense, space, industrial and other high-reliability markets.  e2v announced its plans to expand into Richardson in November. Its
campus will serve as an initial North Texas operation for
the company’s growing high-reliability semiconductor solutions business.  Some of the key reasons Richardson was
selected was the available talent in the semiconductor industry, a central time
zone and DFW International Airport, and a lower cost of business in Texas. Some relocated California companies have
reported a savings of as much as 25% to 35%, mostly attributable to lower
personnel and real estate costs.

 

Based in Santa Barbara,
CA, Inogen Inc., an oxygen therapy equipment manufacturer and services
provider, expanded into Richardson in May 2012.
Inogen invented a portable, lightweight oxygen concentrator for
patients affected with lung conditions. Inogen chose Richardson for several
reasons:  its central location in the
Dallas-Fort Worth area, diverse and skilled workers at a lower cost than in
California, a large inventory of light industrial space with expansion
capabilities (they’ve already expanded twice), and the rich transportation
infrastructure for distribution throughout the U.S.
