McAfee Opens Chile Facility

05/07/2010
McAfee announced today that it will open a new lab facility in Santiago, Chile during the third quarter of 2010. It will eventually employ more than 60 researchers, developers, quality assurance engineers, and support exports, with the possibility of expansion.

"This expansion of McAfee Labs will help us improve the McAfee customer experience and allow for more technical innovation," said Jeff Green, senior vice president for McAfee Labs.

McAfee chose Santiago after a rigorous, international search. The city's infrastructure, the country's political and economic stability, government incentives, and work force clinched the decision. The company has also been working with local universities for recruitment and curriculum collaboration.

McAfee, which produces anti-virus computer software and other computer safety products, has more than 6,000 employees in offices in Asia, Europe, and the Americas.
