The company will open its new 125,000-square-foot headquarters at Three Ravinia by summer 2022. Once complete, Hapag-Lloyd will employ more than 750 people in Georgia, state officials noted.
“We are excited to create a new home for Hapag-Lloyd in North America,” said Uffe Ostergaard, President of Hapag-Lloyd’s North American region. “Our new headquarters will allow us to bring more of our team together, under one roof, to better serve our customers and expand career pathways for our staff. We look forward to growing, and thriving, in Atlanta.”
“Hapag-Lloyd has been moving people and cargo around the globe for over 150 years, and is one of the most recognizable names in the shipping industry,” said GDEcD Commissioner Pat Wilson. “Likewise, logistics is an innate part of Georgia’s economic prowess. From sea and rail to air and road, the state’s economy has long been connected to the movement of goods and people. We are extremely excited to bring one of the most important companies in the logistics industry to the state, joining a robust family of international companies that call Georgia home.”
Based in Hamburg, Germany, and with a fleet of over 250 modern container ships and a total transport capacity of 1.8 million TEUs, Hapag-Lloyd is one of the world’s leading liner shipping companies. The company currently employs more than 500 Georgians across the state.
“Hapag-Lloyd’s announcement reinforces DeKalb County’s greatest assets. DeKalb has a skilled workforce, is easily accessible to major highways and transportation hubs, and is a business-friendly community for those looking to settle or expand,” said President of Decide DeKalb Dorian DeBarr. “Having this world-class, international company make DeKalb its North American headquarters is tremendous, and we look forward to the success and growth that is coming.?“?
