Zoll Medical Corp., a medical device company headquartered in Chelmsford, Mass., has purchased a 124,500-square-foot building (about the size of two football fields) in San Jose, Calif. one of the United States’ busiest manufacturing corridors. According to the company, the purchase is in response to business growth. The building was purchased late last year from Sanmina SCI Corp., an electronics manufacturing services company.
Zoll already has a facility in Sunnyvale Calif., which is only 10 miles away from the new site. The company will move all operations from there to the San Jose building, and hopes to begin the process this October. Renovation on the facility is expected to begin in January 2014.
“We are thrilled by the demand for Zoll’s temperature management business, which has grown at a consistent rate since it began in 2009,” said James Palazzolo, president of Zoll. “We currently employ 225 highly skilled professionals, and the move to San Jose will allow us to continue our growth by giving us the space we need to add jobs and support new products, acquire new businesses, and insource key operations in our supply chain.”
“I’m pleased to welcome Zoll to San Jose,” said Chuck Reed, mayor of San Jose. “As the capital of Silicon Valley, there is no better place in the world for advanced manufacturing companies to start and grow their business. I thank Zoll for investing in San Jose and for their commitment to creating more jobs in Silicon Valley.”
Zoll’s California operations are responsible for the development and manufacture of the company’s intravascular temperature management system, the Autopulse non-invasive cardiac support pump. The pump is an automated, portable chest compression device. It is the only mechanical cardiopulmonary resuscitation, or CPR, system to have shown improved survival in comparative clinical trials, Zoll claims.
