Emeryville is a small city located in Alameda County, California, in the United States. It is located in a corridor between the cities of Berkeley and Oakland, extending to the shore of San Francisco Bay. Its proximity to San Francisco, the Bay Bridge, the University of California, Berkeley, and Silicon Valley has been a catalyst for recent economic growth. It is home to Pixar Animation Studios, Peet’s Coffee & Tea, and Jamba Juice. In addition, several well known biotech and software companies have made their home in Emeryville: Electronic Arts’ Maxis Software division, LeapFrog, Sendmail, MobiTV, Bayer, Novartis (formerly Chiron before April 2006), and BigFix (now IBM).
