StarKist Co. has opened its corporate and administrative headquarters at 1875 Explorer St. in Reston, Virginia, with room for more than 70 employees.
“StarKist is proud to make Reston our official global headquarters,” said Andrew Choe, president and CEO of StarKist Co. “We would like to thank Gov. Glenn Youngkin, the Virginia Economic Development Partnership, the Fairfax County Economic Development Authority, Virginia Chamber of Commerce and the Greater Reston Chamber of Commerce for their ongoing support throughout this process.
“I believe the move to Virginia will provide an outstanding work environment for our employees, as well as an opportunity to expand the StarKist business in the years ahead.”
The new office features a custom Charlie the Tuna mural by artist Joe Wos, as well as an open floor plan, a collaborate and creative space, a large employee lounge and a 28-seat boardroom.
The company joined the Virginia Chamber of Commerce and the Greater Reston Chamber of Commerce this month. In addition, the company will conduct a community distribution event with Feed the Children, a nonprofit focused on alleviating childhood hunger, and Cornerstones, to provide food and hygiene items to 400 families at risk of being food insecure this summer.
“I’m pleased to welcome StarKist to Virginia and include this important company as a member of the Virginia Chamber of Commerce network,” said Barry DuVal, president and CEO for the Virginia Chamber of Commerce. “We look forward to engaging with StarKist representatives on Blueprint Virginia 2030 executive committees to include corporate sustainability and environment and the workforce and education committee. I commend StarKist for their corporate citizenship through investing in statewide initiatives and supporting local communities. StarKist is a great addition to Virginia’s business climate.”
StarKist Co. provides trusted, healthy, food products in the U.S. The company was the first brand to introduce single-serve pouch products, which include Tuna Creations and Salmon Creations. StarKist Co. is a wholly owned subsidiary of Dongwon Industries Co. Ltd.
