IRVINE — Canon U.S.A. Inc., the U.S. sales and marketing arm of the Japanese camera and electronics giant, has moved its western regional offices to the Irvine Spectrum.
The company and its new trading unit, Canon Trading U.S.A. Inc., occupy a $15-million, two-story, 235,000-square-foot building that sits on 20 acres Canon purchased from the Irvine Co. in 1989. Offices will take up about 105,000 square feet of the building with the balance used as a warehouse.
The company’s 200 Southern California employees will relocate from two Canon training facilities, a sales and distribution office in Costa Mesa and a distribution center in Irvine.
“This is a consolidation of the different Canon operations, and this gives us more space,” said George Bridges, a Canon U.S.A. spokesman. “We’ve grown from 100 employees in 1979 to 375 today.”
The regional office is responsible for marketing and servicing Canon products in 10 states, including California, Hawaii, Oregon and Washington.
