Indica Labs CEO, Steven Hashagen remarked “We’re excited about the expansion of our headquarters here in the Albuquerque metro. Our state-of-the-art facility not only affords the company room to grow, it incorporates many features geared towards team productivity, employee health, ergonomics, and well-being.”
In September, the company announced the move and plans to add an additional 58 jobs over a five-year period, an effort which is supported by the state’s Local Economic Development Act (LEDA) fund. Bernalillo County is serving as the fiscal agent for the LEDA funds. Currently, the company has 30 employees based in Albuquerque, with an additional 13 employees based in other parts of the United States, the United Kingdom, Japan, and China. Indica Labs employs a total of 43 employees globally.
