Swisslog Atlanta facility Swisslog announces new Americas region headquarters in Atlanta
Swisslog, a 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.

“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.
