GLI Expands World Headquarters

Doubling its size and capacity, Gaming Laboratories International (GLI) has opened the doors to its expanded world headquarters. The expansion project doubled the size of the existing building, increasing the size of the New Jersey-based headquarters to 100,000 square feet.

The expansion allows GLI to add 45 engineers, boost the staff in QA by more than a dozen and will allow for the size of GLI's nightshift to expand. Along with the expansion comes a larger Class II testing division, with more space and more personnel. Within the newly added space, GLI has also added an additional interoperability center, which is the only other one of its kind in the world, the other being based in GLI's Las Vegas Service Center. Lastly, the expansion also brings a state-of-the-art training facility and meeting room that will allow GLI to host up to 100 people.

GLI's new world headquarters first opened in July 2002, relocating from the original world headquarters building located in Toms River, N.J. The newly built world headquarters was immediately met with increased demands and a need to expand. GLI VP/COO and co-founder Paul J. Magno said, When we opened our new world headquarters in 2002, we never could have anticipated that we would be doubling our office and lab space in less than three years. We are very humbled by the increasing worldwide demand for our services.

GLI President/CEO and co-founder James R. Maida said, This expansion gives us the flexibility and space to increase the number of personnel we have in very specialized technology areas, areas that are now being introduced into the gaming industry. The additional personnel will also enable us to shorten time-to-market without compromising the accuracy and integrity in the testing process that GLI is known for worldwide.
