Kitware has opened its new corporate headquarters at 1712 Route 9, Suite 300, in Clifton Park, coinciding with the 21st anniversary of the company\u2019s incorporation.
\nKitware is a Capital Region-based software research and development company that relocated from Halfmoon to a larger facility that supports current and future growth. A formal opening was held in March.
\n\u201cWe are thrilled with our new headquarters and want to sincerely thank all who made this move possible, especially Empire State Development, Abele Builders, the town of Clifton Park Industrial Development Agency, Spatial Solutions, Bast Hatfield, Central New York Electrical Contractors and FASTSIGNS,\u201d said Kitware president, CEO and co-founder Lisa Avila.
\nKitware is an open-source software technology company founded in the Capital Region in 1998. The company has grown from five founders in a New York state office to a staff of more than 180 people with additional offices in New Mexico, North Carolina, Virginia and France. Its portfolio of services includes data and analytics, high-performance computing, scientific visualization, medical computing, computer vision and software process development, with customers in academia, government and various industries.
\nIt specializes in software that utilizes licenses that allow others to freely use, modify and redistribute source code, according to the company. Through the open-source model, the company can focus on innovation and deliver cost-effective, tailored solutions to customers. Researchers, developers, scientists, engineers and clinicians around the world use such solutions in fields including healthcare, national security and energy.
\n\u201cKitware\u2014a woman-led company\u2014is expanding operations, creating 41 new jobs and investing in the growth of New York,\u201d said Lt. Gov. Kathy Hochul. \u201cWith diverse leadership, companies like Kitware are continuing to boost New York\u2019s reputation as a leader in tech innovation and software development. After starting 21 years ago at a kitchen table, they\u2019ve grown exponentially and we are proud to support them as they open a new headquarters in the Capital Region.\u201d
\nKitware is investing nearly $10 million to lease and outfit more than 43,000 square feet of office space at the new headquarters. The facility provides more desk space and lab space for employees, and over 7,000 square feet of open areas for software training courses, hackathons and company events, officials said.
\nTo support and encourage the expansion, Empire State Development has offered up to $400,000 in performance-based Excelsior Jobs Program tax credits for the creation of 41 new jobs. Kitware is currently on track to hire at an estimated growth rate of 10 percent per year.
\n\u201cKitware is a global company and its decision to expand and create high-tech jobs in the Capital Region is a testament to the area\u2019s world-class talent and New York State\u2019s strategic support for building the innovation economy,\u201d said Empire State Development President CEO and Commissioner Howard Zemsky.
\nSaratoga County Board of Supervisors Chairman Kevin J. Tollisen said Saratoga County \u201cis very fortunate that Kitware is located in our county and continues to invest their talent and resources in providing software research and expert computer advice for the betterment of our region and state. Their mission in working with small businesses to Fortune 500 companies is certainly a testament to their success and a model for continued economic growth.\u201d
\nClifton Park Supervisor Phil Barrett said Clifton Park is pleased to be home to the new headquarters for Kitware\u2019
\nHe called the company \u201ca Southern Saratoga County success story and the company has grown exponentially from its founding in 1998. With more than 100 team members in Clifton Park at the international software developer, this displays Clifton Park\u2019s leadership and ability to attract opportunities for hard working people that want to remain in New York. The Kitware Headquarters is another successful redevelopment project in Clifton Park\u2019s Exit 9 commerce area, creating value for our town while retaining highly attractive jobs for the future.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
