Kaman to relocate headquarters
Kaman Industrial Technologies Corporation announced that it will relocate its headquarters to the Bloomfield, Conn., campus of its parent company.
The move will be effective Dec. 12.
KIT will occupy two recently renovated buildings comprising a total of 40,000 square feet of office space, including the former headquarters building of Kaman's Music division, which was sold in 2007.
The Kaman corporate campus is a 200-acre property owned by the company and located approximately 7 miles north of downtown Hartford and 8 miles south of Bradley International Airport. Kaman's presence at the Bloomfield location was first established in 1953 when company founder Charles Kaman selected the site to serve as then Kaman Aircraft's headquarters.
"As KIT continues to expand with another record sales year, it was important that our office facilities support our strategy, reflect our technology focus and sustain our highly efficient operations. Locating in newly designed state-of-the-art buildings on the main Kaman campus, offers us increased collaboration with other Kaman divisions and provides many benefits to our employees, customers and suppliers," said Steve Smidler, president of KIT.
KIT previously occupied leased space in Windsor, Conn., whose lease expires at the end of December. The move is a result of nearly two years of planning and construction.
In addition to the parent company headquarters, the campus is home to Kaman Aerospace Group headquarters, Kaman Specialty Bearings and its Kamatics division, Kaman Helicopters, Kaman Composites Group and the company's worldwide data center. With this move the Bloomfield campus will house more than 900 of Kaman's 4,700 worldwide employees.
