PVH Corp., one of the largest global apparel companies, will invest $77.6 million in a new distribution and warehouse facility in Palmetto, Georgia. The company plans to hire 575 associates.

“We are proud to be partnering with the State of Georgia to expand our footprint here, and we look forward to welcoming hundreds of new PVH associates to our company, where we are guided by our core values, individuality, partnership, passion, integrity and accountability. PVH is an organization where every individual is valued,” said Kevin Urban, Executive Vice President of Logistic Services at PVH. “PVH strives to make positive impacts in the places we do business, and our greatest opportunity to do that comes from the passion and integrity of our associates.”

“We are excited that PVH Corp. chose to locate their new distribution and warehouse facility in Georgia,” said Governor Brian P. Kemp. “By creating 575 jobs and investing $77.6 million in the Palmetto community, PVH Corp.'s positive impact will be felt statewide and bring even more business to our booming Savannah port.”

According to state officials, PVH will continue to strengthen its relationships with the Georgia Ports Authority and expand the distribution network in Georgia. The port of Savannah will remain the top point of entry and is well positioned to support the future import volume growth as a result of the new facility.

“We are thrilled to welcome PVH Corp. to Fulton County and are ready to staff their new center with the state’s most qualified workforce,” said Fulton County Commission Chairman Robb Pitts. “This is a great win not only for the city of Palmetto, but for all of our communities.”

“PVH’s decision to invest in Fulton County and expand their presence in Georgia reflects the ongoing strength of our business community,” said Hala Moddelmog, President & CEO of the Metro Atlanta Chamber. “Our region’s logistics infrastructure and skilled workforce are among the many assets that make metro Atlanta such an attractive choice for global brands like PVH.” PVH also operates a distribution center in McDonough that will continue to operate.
