EIT, LLC Announces Relocation to Leesburg
The company will be constructing a new 70,000 sq ft facility in the
Oaklawn at Leesburg development.
Leesburg, VA (August 7, 2015) – EIT, LLC, a Sterling-based Electronic Manufacturing Services
(EMS) provider, is excited to announce it will be relocating its Northern Virginia operations to
the Oaklawn at Leesburg development in Leesburg. EIT will build a new 70,000 square foot
manufacturing and operations facility that is expected to be ready for occupancy by September
2016.
David Faliskie, President of EIT, summarized the announcement as “a wonderful opportunity for
EIT.”
“The move will allow our team in NOVA to efficiently and cost effectively work from one facility
in Leesburg,” Faliskie continued. “EIT wishes to remain competitive and a leader for our
customers. We have worked closely with Oaklawn Development Partners and the Town of
Leesburg to make this possible, and we are very excited to be able to merge our operations &
headquarters into this new Leesburg facility. Easy access to Leesburg Executive Airport and
local transportation infrastructure make the site a very attractive and pleasant location for both
our employees and customers. EIT headquarters and manufacturing will remain in NOVA. We
will continue to operate our facilities in Danville, VA and Salem, NH and with their support and
manufacturing capacity we expect the move to Leesburg to be smooth for our customers.”
“I am thrilled about EIT’s decision to make Leesburg their home,” commented Kristen
Umstattd, Leesburg Mayor. “Our Economic Development staff has been paving the way for this
move and I foresee a very bright future for both EIT and the Town”.
Marantha Edwards, Economic Development Director for the Town of Leesburg, added, “Their
expertise in design through fulfillment is key for their business success and the growth of this
industry in Leesburg, which translates into job creation and a positive impact on the sense of
community in Leesburg.”
