Scanner Maker Moving from New York to Portland

PORTLAND-Scanner maker PSC Inc. is moving its headquarters from Webster, NY to downtown Portland to be nearer its Eugene, OR facilities. A source with the publicly traded company says the deal will be finalized in the next week and specifics will be released at that time.

The 1,000-employee company recently sold its existing headquarters in Webster, NY. The 135,000-sf office and manufacturing facility was sold to publicly traded Paychex Inc. for $5 million. PSC is leasing the space back for 90 days while it completes its relocation to Portland.

The bulk of PSC’s 700 U.S. employees reside in Eugene, OR. The move should also save the company money on rent relative to the East Coast and other West Coast cities like Seattle, which the company also considered.
