Bentley has announced that it will be moving its U.S. corporate headquarters from Boston, Massachusetts to Herndon, Virginia. The uber-luxury brand will be moving to the offices of the Volkswagen Group of America, in what it calls a "strategic realignment of its regional operations." According to Bentley president and COO, Christophe Georges, "the relocation will allow Bentley to focus out resources on our brand and take further advantage of synergies with the Volkswagen Group here in the U.S."
Volkswagen Group of America has been around since 1955, staring in their Englewood Cliffs, New Jersey facility. In 2007, VWoA moved to the VA location. That same year, Bentley moved from Michigan to Boston in a similar realignment. A statement by Bentley at that time had a very similar message, "The move, coupled with a realignment of the company's North American structure, will provide Bentley with an even sharper focus on its key market." Funny how while the places chance, the message stays the same.
