AUSTIN--HID Global, a secure-identity solutions firm, has completed the consolidation of its world headquarters and North American operations center in Austin.

“Our North American operations consolidation, as well as the relocation of our corporate headquarters to Austin is an exciting development for HID Global,” Denis Hébert, president and CEO of HID Global, told GlobeSt.com. “Texas is an ideal location for our new state-of-the-art, sustainable facility, and will provide us an excellent platform for scaling our global operations to support the expansion of our leadership position in secure identity solutions.”

The company has also achieved recognition for successfully implementing some of the industry's most stringent sustainability guidelines in the design, construction and operation of its 250,000 square feet of manufacturing, office and warehouse space.

“We are very proud of our accomplishments, and grateful for the tremendous support we've received from the Austin community during this process,” says Jason Bohrer, vice president and general manager for HID Global's operations center. “This facility has become our focal point for worldwide manufacturing excellence and a showcase for operational quality and sustainability that will enable us to strengthen and expand our leadership offering of world-class secure identity solutions.”

Since opening its facility in January 2014, HID Global has hired more than 300 employees and consolidated all of its North American manufacturing operations in Austin. In addition, it has earned recognition as the only industrial manufacturing facility in the state to achieve platinum-level distinction in the U.S. Green Building Council (USGBC) LEED rating program; received a four out of five stars rating from Austin Energy Green Building (AEGB); and was named one of the city's best new buildings in the Austin Business Journal's annual Commercial Real Estate Awards competition.
