The US company will spend US$75m on the new HQ, to be based at The Navy Yard.
The company also unveiled first-quarter net sales of $44.3m, a 3.3% increase on the year. However, net income fell slightly to $0.9m compared to $1.0m in the first quarter of 2006.
David S. Marberger, executive vice president and CFO, said he was “encouraged” by the results but admitted costs had weighed on the business.
Marberger said: “Despite the growth in volume and sales, industry-wide commodity cost increases kept the company from realizing even greater returns on the bottom line. We are committed to mitigating the impact of commodity cost increases by leveraging our fixed cost base and continuing to execute cost reduction programs.”
