HARMAN Begins Construction for Automotive Headquarters

The facility will enable the company to develop infotainment systems and other automotive technology.

HARMAN International Industries has started building its new North American Automotive Headquarters in Novi, MI. The project is scheduled to be completed by Fall 2015.

The 188,00 sq. ft. building will feature engineering labs, development areas, an anechoic chamber and infotainment design studio. The labs will have equipment for a variety of advanced infotainment technologies and platforms.

“Metro Detroit is the epicenter of the automotive industry. This strength, combined with the exceptional technical talent in southeast Michigan, made Novi a compelling destination for HARMAN’s new North American automotive headquarters,” said Dinesh Paliwal, chairman, president and chief executive officer, HARMAN. “The consumer appetite for a connected car experience continues to grow, and HARMAN is leading the industry in solutions that bridge Silicon Valley and Detroit. This new Michigan facility reflects our corporate strategy to continue developing infotainment and audio systems for global markets through superior engineering, award-winning design, and high-value software systems.”
