ATLANTA, June 18,
2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Swisslog, a leading provider of
best-in-class warehouse automation and software, has announced it
is opening a new Americas region headquarters in Atlanta. The new headquarters will accommodate
continued growth and further extend the company's market position
in North America.
Located in the northern suburb of Dunwoody, the new location will serve as the
Swisslog regional headquarters for the Americas, strengthening the
company's footprint. This includes its facilities in Virginia, Ohio and Mexico, as well as field service engineers
throughout the U.S. To learn more about career opportunities at the

"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."
This is just the latest action the company has taken to build on
the momentum it is seeing in the Americas region for automation
solutions that deliver real results for customers. It began with
announcing Sean Wallingford as the
company's new president and CEO of Swisslog Americas, which has led
to a more energized, customer-focused leadership team that is
identifying growth opportunities.
"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," said
Wallingford.
Swisslog's best-in-class robotics solutions 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. Swisslog automation experts work closely with customers
to determine which solution best fits their facility constraints,
operational needs and business objectives. Swisslog was one of the
first integrators to work with AutoStore and has since become the
largest and most experienced integrator of complex AutoStore
solutions with more than 400 AutoStore projects in over 26
countries.
The company also has a robust, 24/7 customer support network
available to its North American customers, including service
technicians strategically located across the region, to help ensure
the automation solutions help them meet their business objectives.

desk resources. It also includes Swisslog's IT Managed Services,
which puts in place experts to proactively manage the IT systems
and software required to keep the equipment running at peak
performance.
