The company has completed a significant expansion and refurbishment of its global headquarters in Cambridge, UK, built new offices in the US and Europe and introduced a new 24/7 professional services offering.
Continuing the success of 2019, when Adder introduced the multi-award-winning ADDERLink™ INFINITY 4000 Series, the company has started 2020 with a major expansion and refurbishment project aimed at accelerating product development, enhancing partner engagement and improving customer support.
Adder CEO Adrian Dickens said: “Our partners and customers are core to Adder’s success and continued innovation. By listening to their feedback, we continue to develop the most advanced IP KVM solutions available. Re-investing in the business is a strong signal of commitment not only to our partners and customers but also to our highly experienced employees. I am very proud to see that Adder continues to lead the way, now and into the future.”
Adder’s global HQ improvements include increased research and development (R&D) facilities, enhanced manufacturing space, additional meeting rooms and employee facilities, including a large break-out area where people can collaborate, brainstorm or simply relax to recharge.
On the US West Coast, Adder has opened a new 800ft² office space in Novato, San Francisco. The offices include meeting rooms and a demonstration facility for partners to engage with customers about their IP KVM requirements from planning and design through to implementation. In Novato, Adder Technology joins some of the US’s fastest-growing companies of 2019, including AdvisoryCloud, GIR and Merrimak Capital Company in its new location.
In Europe, Adder is supporting increased growth opportunities in France with a newly appointed in-country manager based in Paris. Adder’s dedicated presence in France will allow it to work closely with local businesses on their IP KVM opportunities.
