ITT opens new world headquarters
WHITE PLAINS, N.Y. – ITT Corp. has opened the doors to its new world headquarters in White Plains, N.Y. at 1133 Westchester Avenue, the company reported in a recent statement.
Approximately 185 ITT employees comprising the corporate staff and the headquarters staffs of the company’s Fluid Technology and Motion & Flow Control groups will occupy nearly 100,000 square feet in the facility. ITT’s marine business is part of the company’s Motion & Flow Control group. The group headquarters were previously located in Upper Saddle River, N.J., while the corporate headquarters had been based in nearby Harrison, N.Y.
“Since forming in 1995, ITT has moved boldly to reshape the organization from an independent collection of businesses to a strategic operating company that shares a common vision,” said Steve Loranger, chairman, president and chief executive officer of ITT. “As we continue on this journey, our new global headquarters will enable greater collaboration among our many talented leaders and provide a work environment that is reflective of the world-class company we have become.”
ITT’s new facility features natural light throughout the workspace, open areas and flexible conference room environments for increased collaboration, and advanced technology systems, the company stated. In addition, the global headquarters will be home to the ITT Learning Center, an educational facility for employee training and leadership development.
When renovating the space, ITT chose “green” building materials and fixtures to create a workplace that was sensitive to the environment and safe for its employees, it reported. In addition to the environmentally friendly materials used in the construction of the space, the company has installed a number of controls, appliances and other features designed to reduce the consumption of energy and water while reducing waste, according to ITT.
