Swisslog is opening a new headquarters for the Americas region in Atlanta. The company says its new headquarters will accommodate continued growth and further extend the company’s market position in North America.
“We are thrilled to welcome Swisslog to Dunwoody and Perimeter,” said Dunwoody Mayor Lynn Deutsch. “Dunwoody’s skilled workforce and our central location in Metro Atlanta make us an ideal home for an expanding international company. Dunwoody will benefit from a new corporate partner as part of our growing logistics ecosystem.”
Located in the northern suburb of Dunwoody, the facility will serve as the Swisslog regional headquarters for the Americas. The company also has facilities in Virginia, Ohio, and Mexico, and field service engineers throughout the U.S.
This is the company’s latest action taken to build on the momentum it’s seeing in the Americas region. Previously, Swisslog named Sean Wallingford as its president and CEO of Swisslog Americas.
Swisslog is part of KUKA Group, a supplier of robotics and other systems with more than 15,000 employees worldwide. The company is a provider of intralogistics automation and software.
Why Swisslog chose Atlanta
“Atlanta has become a leading global center for the supply chain, home to distribution centers, offices and headquarters of some of the largest companies in the supply chain industry. Dunwoody enjoys a prime location at the center of Atlanta’s central perimeter business district and it offers great access to the airport. As we continue to expand our customer base and portfolio, this new headquarters will better position us to capture additional growth opportunities, bring further innovation to the region and enable us to recruit the best supply chain, software and engineering talent we need to maintain and enhance the level of support we provide our customers,” Wallingford said.
Swisslog’s robots and software include its Vectura pallet stacker cranes, PowerStore high-density shuttle system, CycloneCarrier shuttle system, ACPaQ automated mixed case palletizer, AutoStore, and SynQ management software.
The company says its automation experts work closely with customers to determine which system best fits their facility constraints, operational needs, and business objectives.
Swisslog also says it has a robust, 24/7 customer support network available to its North American customers. This includes service technicians strategically located across the region to help ensure that installed automation systems help customers meet their business objectives.
The company has over 50 field resources and over 100 full-time help desk resources. It also has IT Managed Services, which put in place experts to proactively manage the IT systems and software required to keep the equipment running at peak performance.
