“Mercedes-Benz is a marquee brand which deserves a marquee setting,” said president and CEO, Stephen Cannon. “Our ambition is to be more than just a great car company – we want to be among the best companies in the world and Atlanta will serve as the foundation to foster that ambition for the future.”
Starting in July, the company will move into temporary office space at Sterling Pointe II, a 186,000-square-foot office building at the Perimeter Centre complex in the neighbouring city of Dunwoody.
“Mercedes-Benz USA’s planned headquarters location in Sandy Springs is great for the city, Metro Atlanta and for the entire state of Georgia,” said Georgia Governor, Nathan Deal. “I want to thank Mercedes-Benz USA and its leadership team for its decision to call Georgia home.”
As part of the relocation, the automaker plans to hire hundreds of new employees from the Atlanta area. MBUSA will continue to maintain several operational business units in both Montvale and Robbinsville, New Jersey.
Additional details on the new Sandy Springs facility, as well as MBUSA’s Atlanta recruiting efforts, will be released in the coming weeks.
