EL PASO, Texas (KTSM) — Helen of Troy Limited is moving its U.S. headquarters but is still keeping it in El Paso.
The global consumer products company announced that it will move to its U.S. headquarters to Downtown El Paso in early 2025. The company’s U.S. headquarters has been located in Northwest El Paso near Artcraft.
The company will be moving into a 54,000-square-foot space in the One San Jacinto Plaza Building at 201 E. Main, according to a news release sent out by the company.
One San Jacinto Plaza (OSJP) is owned by a subsidiary of Franklin Mountain Investments (FMI) and is one of several Downtown buildings owned by Borderland businessman Paul Foster.
“This move continues our commitment to El Paso and our support of ongoing Downtown revitalization efforts in the City, County and the private sector,” says Noel Geoffroy, Helen of Troy chief executive officer. “We look forward to operating in our new facility, that will offer modern amenities and meet our space requirements for years to come. We strongly value the work and passion of our dedicated associates in El Paso and are proud of our 56-year legacy here.”
Under the move, the company said “hundreds” of people in El Paso will continue to be employed by Helen of Troy under this move, according to the news release.
“We are excited to have a top employer such as Helen of Troy have a presence in the OSJP building and we welcome all the associates to a vibrant and exciting Downtown El Paso” said Foster, CEO of FMI. “Their presence in Downtown El Paso will serve as an economic boost to an already thriving Downtown and exemplifies Helen of Troy’s commitment to the El Paso area. Downtown brings together the City’s largest core group of professional talent and offers them and their employers’ easy access to amenities such as a variety of restaurants, hotels for visitors and for conferences, museums, and entertainment all within a walkable environment. We are pleased that more and more companies are recognizing the value of a core business district, which we believe will only continue to improve as more employers chose this option.”
Mayor Oscar Leeser said it was “wonderful” news that Helen of Troy is keeping its U.S. headquarters in El Paso and moving it to Downtown.
“This is wonderful news and it demonstrates the power of vision and the power of working together to make our Downtown the most dynamic in the country. Helen of Troy recognizes this vision and we are grateful for their commitment and their investment. Great cities have great Downtowns, and we are thrilled that El Paso’s downtown is thriving,” Leeser said.
