The German ocean carrier Hapag-Lloyd has announced that its headquarters of Region North America will move from Piscataway, New Jersey, to Atlanta, Georgia in summer.
From then on, about 750 employees will work there, which is around 85% of the employees working in the United States. Area Canada and the Long Beach office will not be affected by these changes, according to a company’s statement.
“We look forward to bringing more of our team together, in a best-in-class workspace,” said Uffe Ostergaard, president of Region North America. “This will improve service to our customers, and position our team to grow,” he added.
The new workspace will be designed according to Hapag-Lloyd’s “Future Way of Working” principles and be based in a modern building, at a central and easily accessible location.
As early as 1 January 2022, the North East (NNE) and South West (NSW) sales territories were merged into a single US sales territory also with headquarters in Atlanta.
