Opens New World Headquarters in Valley Forge Gov. Tom Ridge officially opened IKON Office Solutions' new world headquarters in Chester County's Great Valley Corporate Center, on September 10th. The move retains 140 jobs and will create as many as 400 new jobs over the next three years. As part of the dedication ceremony, Ridge used the company's technology for a two-way interactive session with students from Penncrest High School in Media, Delaware County.
Technology offers opportunity-opportunities for our workers, and opportunities for our children.
Ridge said that IKON's new world headquarters is another check in Pennsylvania's win column for jobs in the Greater Philadelphia Area. This is a new Pennsylvania that is creating new opportunities for our workers. Ridge's 1997-98 budget provides major jobs advantages for Pennsylvania. Eliminating this tax will provide a cost savings to companies like IKON Office Solutions whose operations use computer services. The Chester County facility will serve as IKON Office Solutions' world headquarters for its more than 900 locations in the United States, the United Kingdom, Canada, Mexico, France, Germany and Denmark.
