Roland Corporation has opened its new U.S. headquarters in El Segundo, California, marking a milestone in Roland’s ongoing investment in its Americas operations and the people who power them.
Located on the 12th floor of a building at 200 N. Pacific Coast Highway, the new headquarters brings together more than 100 U.S.-based Roland employees in a modern workspace designed to reflect the way creative teams actually work. The space features open collaborative zones, conference rooms with full hybrid capabilities, and design elements that pay tribute to Roland’s heritage and innovation. Private offices carry the names of iconic Roland products, including the TR-808 and SP-404, grounding the team in the instruments and culture at the heart of the brand. Floor-to-ceiling windows frame sweeping views of the Hollywood sign, the downtown Los Angeles skyline, and the Pacific Ocean, situating the team at the center of one of the world’s most vibrant creative communities. The building’s proximity to LAX makes the headquarters an ideal destination for artists, partners, and collaborators traveling in and out of the city, reinforcing Roland’s commitment to staying closely connected to the people who make music.
“El Segundo gives us a home that matches our ambitions,” said Manuele Barbini, Roland Americas’ CEO. “We are closer to our artists, closer to L.A.’s creative culture, and better positioned than ever to deliver on Roland’s mission of designing the future of music.”
The El Segundo headquarters serves as a physical hub for innovation, creativity and human connection, bringing together Roland’s teams across sales, finance, marketing, product management, legal and beyond under one roof. The opening comes on the heels of Roland Corporation’s completion of the Roland Inspiration Hub, its new global headquarters in Hamamatsu, Japan, which began full operations in March 2026.
Roland Corporation U.S. celebrated the grand opening with a ribbon-cutting ceremony led by company leadership, including Barbini, CFO Bardo Bardelli, vice president of channel marketing Katherine Wing, senior vice president of research and innovation Paul McCabe, vice president of product management Pat Kennedy, vice president of North America sales operations Ryan Genest, director of human resources Gladys Carrillo, and vice president of legal Jun Yamamoto. More than 70 employees attended in person, with an additional 120 North American team members joining via a simultaneous livestream town hall.
