Luxembourg-based telecommunications company SES will invest $17 million in a new U.S. hub facility in Prince William County facility where it will merge its satellite and network operations, Virginia Gov. Ralph Northam announced Thursday. The facility is expected to create up to 200 net jobs by 2026.
“In consolidating our local SES satellite and network operations and selecting a U.S. hub to house them all, we needed to consider our employees’ commutes, locale of our existing satellite infrastructure investments, and access to a broader engineering talent pool,” SES CEO Steve Collar said in a statement. “We are pleased that we have landed on the ideal location of Prince William County, as this new hub provides SES with the space to continue providing seamless services and aligns with our goal to deliver future-proof and innovative solutions for customers while adapting how we will work in a post-pandemic world. With more people demanding more connectivity and data services, we will also be looking at engaging top talent across Virginia to grow our technology and global services teams in the coming months and would welcome candidates’ applications from the area.”
The facility will be located at 8050 Piney Branch Lane in the Piney Industrial Park in Prince William’s Bristow area.
