The relocation is possible because the state granted Jaguar a 10-year, $27 million tax break to stay in New Jersey. Sharp announced in August it would move its headquarters, along with 350 employees, to Montvale.
Jaguar, and its 250 employees, has been on MacArthur Boulevard since 1990. The company previously said it is projecting to bring that total to about 300 within the next few years.
