07/14/2025
The investment will establish the company’s new 22,000 square-foot global headquarters.
“Establishing our global headquarters in Virginia marks another milestone in solidifying ORBCOMM as the global leader in industrial IoT solutions,” said ORBCOMM CEO Sameer Agrawal. “With proximity to the Port of Virginia, major supply chain centers, and its vibrant ecosystem of technology companies, Loudoun County is an obvious home for ORBCOMM. We’re proud to deepen our presence in a region that offers the talent, infrastructure and support to help us drive next-generation IoT solutions.”
Virginia Economic Development Partnership (VEDP) will support ORBCOMM’s job creation through the Virginia Jobs Investment Program, which provides consultative services and funding to companies creating new jobs in order to support employee recruitment and training activities. As a business incentive supporting economic development, VJIP reduces the human resource costs of new and expanding companies. VJIP is state funded, demonstrating Virginia’s commitment to enhancing job opportunities for citizens.
“Northern Virginia continues to be a magnet for cutting-edge technology and innovation,” noted Secretary of Commerce and Trade Juan Pablo Segura. “Their decision to expand operations and invest in a larger office space reflects the strength of our highly skilled workforce and the strategic advantages Virginia offers.”
ORBCOMM offers a range of services, including asset tracking, monitoring, and control, leveraging both satellite and cellular connectivity. The company serves various industries like transportation, maritime, heavy equipment, and government, helping them optimize operations and improve efficiency.
“Orbcomm’s continued investment in Sterling reinforces Loudoun County’s reputation as a hub for innovation and connectivity,” added Loudoun Economic Development Executive Director Buddy Rizer. “Loudoun is proud to be a place where companies like Orbcomm can expand with confidence. This is a significant win for Loudoun, bringing jobs, investment, and momentum to one of the nation’s leading tech corridors.”
