Murata will move its European headquarters to Hoofddorp on Jan. 1, 2014.

Located 15 km from the center of Amsterdam, the new building is 1 km from the Hoofddorp train station and one stop away from the Schiphol airport. The building also will accommodate the company’s Netherlands sales operations.
