Makinex Opens New North American Headquarters in Torrance, Calif.
Makinex, fueled by continued growth, has relocated its headquarters in Southern California to Torrance. In business since 2004, with its main headquarters in Sydney, Australia, Makinex has grown to more than 50 employees in three countries. The company opened its North America headquarters in Redondo Beach, Calif., in a shared office space environment in 2015, and quickly exceeded the amount of available space.
The new headquarters enables the business to accommodate clients more effectively and efficiently. Designed with the motto “Make Inefficiencies Extinct”, the company included advanced technology, green initiatives, and better ways to serve customers and staff.
“This is such an exciting time for Makinex and marks a huge milestone for the company,” said general manager Peter Maginnis. “The employees and customers will all greatly benefit from this move, and we couldn’t be more proud.”
“The new space absolutely mirrors one of our biggest company values: innovation,” added operations manager Brandy Carmona. “We will without a doubt improve on our promise to deliver innovative, quality solutions to the market, making our clients’ lives easier and more efficient.”
