Bose Professional Opens Global HQ Then Lays Off Staff

Adrian J Cotterill, Editor-in-Chief

In the week that Bose Professional made much noise about their new purpose-built facility in Massachusetts, a home to labs, testing facilities, office spaces and a museum showcasing a collection of Bose Professional products (okay Bose products) from the past 50 years it quietly laid off a lot of staff.

The purpose-built 4,665 sq metre facility, which marks a significant milestone in the newly independent company’s history, is home to labs, testing facilities and office spaces is based in Hopkinton, Massachusetts.

The labs feature spaces dedicated to mechanical and electrical engineering, testing, measurement, quality assurance and fabrication. They include the Klippel Lab, which is an acoustically isolated test chamber specifically designed for detailed acoustic measurement and testing.

A dozen or so staff were let go from the Americas the same week.
