Canon Expansion Creates 1,000 Virginia Jobs

Canon Virginia will officially open its $625 million expansion in Newport News, Virginia this Friday.

The new 700,000-square-foot manufacturing center is the state’s largest economic development project in 20 years.

The facility will double Canon’s capacity in manufacturing cartridges for laser printers. It also features a research & development center.

Canon’s expansions in Virginia will create a total of 1,000 trained technical jobs, that average $40,000 a year. Two-hundred and fifty positions have already been filled.

Canon is a Japanese multinational corporation that specializes in the manufacture of imaging and optical products, including cameras, photocopiers, steppers and computer printers. Its headquarters is located in Ota, Tokyo.
