ENGLEWOOD CLIFFS, N.J., May 29, 2026 — Samsung Electronics America is preparing to relocate its headquarters operations from Englewood Cliffs, New Jersey, to the Dallas area around October 2026, according to current Samsung employees who were not authorized to speak publicly.
The employees told ApplianceNews.org the move is expected to shift the company’s headquarters presence out of New Jersey roughly one year after Samsung opened its new North American headquarters at 700 Sylvan Ave. in Englewood Cliffs.
Samsung has not publicly announced the relocation. ApplianceNews.org has not independently obtained a company memo, government filing or real estate document confirming the timeline.
The reported move would shift Samsung Electronics America’s headquarters presence out of New Jersey roughly one year after the company opened its Englewood Cliffs headquarters.
Employee reports point to relocation timeline
Additional employee reports provided to ApplianceNews.org said Samsung’s move to Texas was approved by the company’s CEO and is scheduled for August 2026, with a broader relocation and layoff announcement expected June 5. One employee report said New Jersey layoffs were scheduled to begin June 2.
Employees also reported that a relocation update call was scheduled for May 29 and that the move to Plano, Texas, was announced to New Jersey employees during that call. According to those reports, employees were told they would receive an email June 1 asking them to indicate relocation interest, with initial interest due June 12 and personalized employment information expected by June 30.
- Company: Samsung Electronics America
- Current headquarters location: Englewood Cliffs, New Jersey

- Reported timing: August to October 2026
- Employee response deadline: Initial relocation interest reportedly due June 12

Move would follow recent New Jersey headquarters opening
Samsung Electronics America opened its Englewood Cliffs headquarters in September 2025 after relocating from Ridgefield Park, New Jersey, according to NJBIZ and other local reports. The Englewood Cliffs site is the former Unilever space at 700 Sylvan Ave.
Samsung’s own business site lists a Connected Experience Center at 700 Sylvan Ave. in Englewood Cliffs, describing the location as a place for meetings, events, workshops and business briefings.
Public remarks from U.S. Rep. Josh Gottheimer’s office said the Englewood Cliffs facility was home to about 1,200 employees and replaced Samsung’s former Ridgefield Park headquarters, where the company had operated since 1992.
Texas already plays a major role for Samsung
Samsung Electronics America already has a significant North Texas presence. In 2018, the company announced plans to relocate North Texas-based teams from Richardson and Plano to Legacy Central in Plano, saying the move would bring more than 1,000 regional employees into a 216,000-square-foot office space.
The company’s public LinkedIn profile currently lists its headquarters in Englewood Cliffs and includes a Plano, Texas, location at 6625 Excellence Way.
A headquarters relocation to the Dallas area would deepen Samsung’s corporate footprint in Texas, where the company already maintains operations tied to mobile, customer care, research and engineering functions.
Questions remain on jobs and real estate
The employee reports did not specify how many positions would move, how many jobs may be eliminated, whether all Englewood Cliffs-based functions would be affected, or whether Samsung would maintain any New Jersey office presence after the reported transition.
It also was not immediately clear whether the reported headquarters relocation would involve new office space in Dallas or Plano, an expansion of existing North Texas operations, or a restructuring of Samsung Electronics America’s current real estate footprint.
For New Jersey, the reported move would mark a sharp reversal after state and local officials celebrated Samsung’s Englewood Cliffs headquarters opening less than a year ago.
