Kiva Systems, a developer of eCommerce order fulfillment and warehouse operations, held its official ribbon-cutting ceremony of the company’s new world headquarters today at 300 Riverpark Drive in North Reading.

The new location boasts more than 120,000 square feet of manufacturing, engineering and demonstration space and 40,000 square feet of office space, to better accommodate the company’s growing staff. The new location also serves as the primary manufacturing assembly site for the company’s high-tech hardware, which includes robotic drive units, mobile shelves, work stations and chargers.

"I am so proud to support Kiva’s spirit of innovation and applaud its commitment to invest in our workforce by continuing to add jobs in the commonwealth," said Gov. Deval Patrick. "Kiva is a great story for this region to tell, having relocated its company from Silicon Valley to Massachusetts where they are now manufacturing global exports, and making the commonwealth internationally competitive in the robotics market."

"This facility opening signifies our transition from a high-tech startup to a major player in the fast growing eCommerce fulfillment market," said Mick Mountz, founder and CEO of Kiva Systems. "Our new world headquarters employs Massachusetts’ finest, from electro-mechanical assemblers to engineers and algorithm designers to solutions consultants as we solve challenges for many of the world’s leading retail and eCommerce companies including Staples, Boston Scientific, Gap and Walgreens."
