Samsung will move its US headquarters from New Jersey to Plano, Texas, marking a major shift after over 40 years in the state. The company has operated primarily from Ridgefield Park, New Jersey, but recently announced a move to Englewood Cliffs. Now, Samsung plans to leave New Jersey entirely and relocate to Texas.

Relocation Details

Samsung confirmed that its new US headquarters will be in Plano, located just north of Dallas. Plano is about 200 miles from Taylor, Texas, where Samsung has invested heavily in semiconductor manufacturing. The company aims to complete the headquarters move within 2026. Most of the 1,000 employees currently based in Englewood Cliffs will transfer to Plano. A small group will remain in New Jersey to support ongoing local operations.

Strategic Reasons for the Move

Samsung's decision comes as it expands its foundry operations in Texas. The company has built several large semiconductor fabrication plants in Taylor. This expansion aligns with broader industry trends and government efforts to increase domestic manufacturing. Apple, for example, is seeking to reduce reliance on TSMC for chip production. The US government has encouraged companies to onshore more manufacturing to strengthen supply chains.

Impact on Employees and Operations

Samsung stated it is preparing for the relocation and will finalize plans for headquarters operations and workforce allocation soon. The majority of staff will move to Texas, while a limited number will stay in New Jersey. This move is part of Samsung's broader strategy to support its growing semiconductor business in the United States.
