PreSonus retained 80 existing jobs with the Baton Rouge expansion and relocation project. Gov. Jindal joined PreSonus in August 2012 to announce the beginning of construction on the project. Since then, all Baton Rouge employees have relocated to the Highland Road headquarters. PreSonus is a leading manufacturer of digital and analog hardware and integrated software systems.
