Luxembourg/San Francisco, December 5, 2011 – The Government of Luxembourg today announced that Netflix, Inc. is locating its European headquarters in Luxembourg.

Netflix is the world’s leading Internet subscription service for enjoying films and TV shows, with over 20 million streaming members in the United States, Canada, and Latin America. Offering a broad range of Hollywood, international and local movies and TV shows, Netflix has revolutionized entertainment by giving people a choice to enjoy what they want to watch, when they want to watch it, for a low monthly price over a wide range of Internet-connected devices.

The company has been streaming to U.S. members since 2007, adding Canada in 2010 and 43 countries in Latin America and the Caribbean in September 2011.

“The decision by Netflix to establish its European operations center in Luxembourg is a very exciting development,” said Jeannot Krecke, Luxembourg Minister of the Economy and Foreign Trade. “We welcome their presence and look forward to their European expansion.”
“Netflix’s choice of Luxembourg is further testimony of the country’s leadership in media and digital content delivery,” said François Biltgen, Minister for Communications and Media.
