Laserfiche, a software company based in Long Beach, is seeking to double down on its investment in the city by expanding its headquarters in the city’s Los Cerritos neighborhood.

The company plans to take over 10 lots, which comprise just over two acres, south of its current office space at 3545 Long Beach Blvd. The proposal to build a new four-story, 102,840 square-foot office building will come before the City Council at its Tuesday, March 5, meeting.

According to a statement from Laserfiche CEO Chris Wacker, the expansion will double the company’s jobs in Long Beach from 300 to 600 by 2025.

“We are committed to continued investment in Long Beach,” Wacker said, “and look forward to bringing hundreds of well-paying tech jobs to the city.”

If approved, the new office address will be 3443 Long Beach Blvd., while a new parking garage would go up at 210 E. 35th St. Wacker said he expects construction to finish by 2021.

“As a rapidly growing leader in the tech sector, Laserfiche is a valued city partner for the software it builds and its contributions to the city,” Long Beach Mayor Robert Garcia said in a statement. “As an employer and a business, Laserfiche plays a significant role in Long Beach’s economic development and we look forward to the company’s continued expansion.”

Laserfiche, founded in 1987, has been a leader in digital document storage and Long Beach counts itself among the company’s customers. Along with using the software to digitize documents — such as city contracts, staff reports and ballots — Long Beach has also enlisted Laserfiche’s product to help the Police Department confirm whether a detained person has been served and is subjected to the terms of the court orders.

The company has also been involved in Long Beach’s community and politics, having made significant contributions to local schools, the Long Beach Rescue Mission and the YMCA of Greater Long Beach, as well as a PAC supporting four charter amendment measures on Long Beach’s November 2018 ballot.
