QT9 Software, maker of Quality Management Software, ERP, and MRP solutions, announced plans to relocate its global headquarters from Aurora to a newly redeveloped campus in downtown Batavia, Illinois. The former Pamarco factory, a 100-year-old industrial building along the Fox River, will be transformed into a modern, approximately 40,000-square-foot office environment that preserves the site’s historic character while creating a new hub for technology, innovation, and collaboration.
The headquarters project is part of a $12 million adaptive reuse initiative led by Manhattan Real Estate Ventures, LLC, under a Redevelopment Agreement authorized by the Batavia City Council. The investment will rehabilitate a long-neglected riverfront property into a state-of-the-art workspace designed to support QT9 Software’s continued global growth, while aligning with the City of Batavia’s Downtown Plan for sustainable revitalization and historic preservation.
QT9 Software’s relocation will initially bring approximately 65 employees to downtown Batavia, with staffing projected to grow to around 100 high‑skilled technology roles as the company expands. By establishing a new global headquarters in the heart of the city, QT9 Software will help honor the area’s industrial heritage while creating a modern, connected workspace that reflects its culture of innovation and long-term commitment to the region.
The redevelopment will preserve the historic industrial architecture of the former factory while modernizing its interior systems, infrastructure, and layout to meet the needs of a growing global technology organization. The project is expected to serve as a visual and economic catalyst for the broader riverfront district, complementing other recent investments and reinforcing Batavia’s position as a competitive destination for technology-driven businesses. Construction is anticipated to begin following final approvals and financing, with occupancy targeted before the end of 2028.
QT9 Software’s new headquarters will further strengthen the company’s ability to deliver pre‑validated QMS, ERP, and MRP solutions that connect quality and operations for manufacturers across life sciences, pharmaceutical, medical device, biotechnology, aerospace, and industrial markets. From Batavia, QT9 Software will continue to support customers in North America, Europe, and Asia-Pacific with platforms designed to streamline operations, maintain compliance with global standards, and provide real-time visibility into critical quality and production data.
With its expanded presence in Batavia, QT9 Software plans to deepen its engagement with the local community, fostering new opportunities for collaboration, workforce development, and long-term economic stability. The company expects that the new headquarters, combined with Batavia’s evolving mix of historic properties and new development, will help attract and retain top technology talent while reinforcing QT9 Software’s role as a trusted partner for regulated manufacturers worldwide.
