“Our administration has been laser-focused on doing everything we can to get Connecticut’s economy growing again, and having a company with a worldwide reputation like ITT deciding to move their global headquarters to our state is nothing but a win,” Governor Lamont said. “I appreciate the team at ITT, including CEO Luca Savi, on selecting Connecticut, and I look forward to having a strong working relationship as this company continues to grow here.”

“We are excited to begin a new chapter at ITT in the vibrant city of Stamford, Connecticut,” Luca Savi, president and CEO of ITT Inc., said. “Stamford’s rich history and prime location will provide the perfect home for our new global headquarters and will allow us to grow and build upon ITT’s long history. As a global manufacturer and developer of highly engineered components and technology, we are confident that our newly designed space will inspire innovation and collaboration and provide better solutions to serve our customers. We look forward to our move later this year.”

“ITT has recognized, like other industry leading businesses, that Stamford is an ideal location for a corporate headquarters,” Stamford Mayor David Martin said. “The city offers the critically important resources that a company needs, including an innovative culture, a highly skilled and well-educated workforce, great transportation options, and a wonderfully diverse community that meets a broad range of needs and interest. The move is an example of the high-quality companies and jobs the city and the state have been working together to attract to the region, and I am proud to welcome them to Stamford.”

“We are honored that ITT chose Harbor Point as the site for its new global presence,” Carl R. Kuehner III, chairman of Building and Land Technology, said. “Our community’s desirable location, coupled with the flexible offerings we can provide in terms of health and wellness, underscore the promise our city and state hold to attract global talent and be competitive with major markets.”

The Connecticut Department of Economic and Community Development is supporting the project by providing a grant in arrears up to $1,995,000, contingent on the company creating and retaining up to 57 new full-time jobs.

“Connecticut is a national and global leader for advanced manufacturing because of our highly trained and educated workforce, and we welcome ITT to Stamford,” Congressman Jim Himes said. “ITT’s move to Connecticut will not only add jobs to the state but help cement our position at the forefront of the innovation economy. The word is spreading that Connecticut is committed to creating an environment that matches workers with leading companies, and ITT is an example of how we’re succeeding.”
