More than 600 Subaru employees will be making their way to the new headquarters in Camden when the facility is completed in 2017.
A specialized Subaru Outback, with a plow attached, was used at the ground breaking ceremony held on December 9th and other historic Subaru vehicles were also displayed during the ceremony.
“We are very excited to be moving this project forward as we seek to bring our family of employees together on one site,” said Thomas J. Doll, president and chief operating officer of Subaru of America. “This signing cements the long-term future of Subaru in the Delaware Valley and we are pleased that, after almost 50 years here, we can plan to continue to be a part of the local community we have supported for so long.”
Subaru of America’s new headquarters will be neighboring the world headquarters of the Campbell Soup Company.
The entire project is expected to bring a net benefit of $167.9 million and will create 100 new jobs, according to New Jersey Lt. Governor Kim Guadagno.
