annexe
Explanation:
Well, if we are talking about a physical place, then we usually speak of 'annexe' kin EN too; these days, it's fashionable also to talk about 'satellite', but that may or may not be a bit too grand for your particular company!

neutral  cc in nyc: IMO, the only works if it is attached to or adjacent to the main site. Also, I think you meant "annex."

  -> No, it's just the UK spelling. And in the UK at least, an annexe can be a seperate site, even some distance away (but usually still 'local').

Qualification: "Branch office" works only if the annexe is at some distance from the site principal.

neutral  Tony M: That's all very well in some contexts — but in others, it could amount to over-translation. What if this 'annexe' is in fact a production site, not an 'office' at all?

agree  cc in nyc: Or maybe secondary site; in any case perhaps better than my suggestion of "branch office."
