Bantu moves headquarters to Virginia

Bantu, a provider of secure enterprise instant messaging, has relocated its headquarters from Washington, D.C., to McLean, Va.

Company officials said the move was in response to recent and anticipated growth. They also want to be closer to important customers and partners. Bantu’s future growth markets include the financial and education sectors.

“Tysons [Corner in McLean] is the heart of the government [information technology] and technology corridor,” Larry Schlang, chief executive officer and president of Bantu, said in a statement. “The larger space will accommodate our planned growth and guarantees stronger relationships and support.”

The company’s new address is 8110 Gatehouse Road, Suite 101, E. Falls Church, VA 22042.
