Align’s San Jose campus will remain its hub for global innovation, product and marketing organization and will become home to its new Digital Innovation Center, which is under construction.
“Innovation is the heart of Align and core to who we are as an organization,” Hogan said. “As leaders in digital orthodontics and dentistry, we must continue to invest in new products and technology that benefit our doctor customers and their patients. This change will afford many new opportunities for Align to expand its industry-leading digital capabilities through innovation in San Jose while achieving greater, long-term operating efficiencies in Arizona.
“Our employees are key to our continued success, and throughout this change we remain committed to supporting all employees, whether they decide to relocate or remain in their current locations. We chose Tempe for our new corporate headquarters for many reasons, including its proximity to San Jose, favorable corporate operating environment, low cost of living and overall quality of life.”
Align says it has helped more than 9 million patients through its Invisalign system and is driving the evolution in digital dentistry with the iTero intraoral scanner and exocad CAD/CAM software. These modernize dental practices by enabling enhanced digital orthodontic and restorative workflows to improve patient outcomes and practice efficiencies.
