Canon Expansion Creates 1,000 Virginia Jobs

Canon Virginia will officially open its $625 million expansion in Newport News, Virginia this Friday.

The new 700,000-square-foot manufacturing center is the state’s largest economic development project in 20 years.

The facility will double Canon’s capacity in manufacturing cartridges for laser printers. It also features a research & development center.

Canon’s expansions in Virginia will create a total of 1,000 trained technical jobs, that average $40,000 a year. Two-hundred and fifty positions have already been filled.

Canon is a Japanese multinational corporation that specializes in the manufacture of imaging and optical products, including cameras, photocopiers, steppers and computer printers. Its headquarters is located in Ota, Tokyo.

Testimonial of the Week

What I liked about the service is that it had such a comprehensive collection of jobs! I was using a number of sites previously and this took up so much time, but in joining EmploymentCrossing, I was able to stop going from site to site and was able to find everything I needed on EmploymentCrossing.
