Samsung Electronics Cuts Jobs Amid Headquarters Relocation to Texas

Job Reductions Following Headquarters Move

Samsung Electronics has announced job cuts in its U.S. consumer electronics division as it transitions its headquarters from New Jersey to Texas. According to reports, 739 positions in Englewood Cliffs, New Jersey, are impacted by this relocation. The company has indicated that many affected employees have been given the option to relocate, while others have chosen to leave the organization.

Additionally, around 100 staff members at Samsung's Plano, Texas office, including those in the mobile division, have reportedly lost their jobs. This move comes less than a year after SEA established new offices in Englewood Cliffs. As noted by U.S. Representative Josh Gottheimer, approximately 1,200 employees were based at the New Jersey site, which oversees Samsung's consumer electronics operations in the U.S., including smartphones, televisions, and home appliances, but excludes semiconductor activities.

As of late 2025, Samsung Electronics employed about 11,770 individuals in the U.S., encompassing its semiconductor workforce. The company clarified that there is no extensive global restructuring occurring within its consumer products sector. The headquarters relocation aims to enhance collaboration by consolidating teams within Texas's expanding technology and AI landscape.

Samsung stated that the headquarters shift could result in adjustments to its workforce structure, particularly for employees who cannot relocate or for functions that may be optimized to align with key business objectives. Reports indicate that over 30 employees, including senior sales and marketing personnel from both Texas and New Jersey, have either been laid off or have voluntarily left the company in recent weeks, with details of these job losses previously unreported.
