Code Corp. 'reshoring' jobs from Singapore

Code Corp., a Murray-based global provider of barcode scanning and data capture technologies, is opening a new facility to “reshore” its product fulfillment, packaging, device configuration and a portion of its research and development and quality assurance testing operations. The West Valley facility will initially provide for about 25 jobs that are currently being done in Singapore.

“Code Corp.’s new industrial facility is an outgrowth of months of frustration with the global supply chain followed by a tremendous amount of thoughtful planning and{mprestriction ids="1,3"} careful investment to return to and bring back to the U.S. many business activities we have conducted overseas for years,” said Dave Frick, director of operations for Code. “This new facility will not only bring new jobs to Utah but will also streamline our own supply chain and the international distribution of our barcode readers, which are vital to the day-to-day operations of healthcare facilities around the world.”

The new 11,000-square-foot plant is located near the Salt Lake City International Airport, Utah’s planned Inland Port and International Trade Zone borders with a goal of cutting worldwide fulfillment time by 50 percent, Frick said.

Beyond augmenting Code’s Murray headquarters, Boston-area technical center and EMEA hub in Bodegraven, Netherlands, the West Valley City location will enable greater product customization, company officials said. The new facility will also generate additional U.S. workforce development with an anticipated expansion of the company’s Utah operations by 14 percent.{/mprestriction}
