Monroe, Conn.—Victorinox Swiss Army has opened its North American headquarters in Monroe, Conn.

The grand-opening ceremony was held on Oct. 1, with founding family members Charles and Veronika Elsener, Connecticut Lieutenant Governor Michael Fedele, Attorney General of Connecticut Richard Blumenthal and many other state and town officials, key retailers and local employees on hand for the official ribbon-cutting ceremony.

In addition to being the brand's official North American headquarters, the Monroe facility will also be the official distribution center for Victorinox Swiss Army's timepieces, multi-tools and men's and women's apparel. It will also house more than 200 employees, as well as a timepiece and multi-tool repair center.
