Daimler AG said Thursday that it would move its North American headquarters, and roughly 30 jobs, to Michigan.
According to Michigan Gov. Rick Snyder, the move from New Jersey to Michigan would be complete by 2017.
Mercedes announced last year that it would move its headquarters from Montvale, NJ to Atlanta. Daimler’s move would be separate from the Mercedes move.
The move would align Daimler closer to some of its facilities, such as an R&D center and Detroit Diesel, which it owns, according to Autoblog.
“Michigan is the world’s automotive leader, and Daimler’s decision to increase its presence in state is another indication that we intend to hold that position for generations to come,” Snyder said in a statement. “This company has long been a valued member of our business community. Michigan is leading the United States in creating new auto jobs and our leadership extends across all parts of the industry — manufacturing, R&D, engineering and technology development.”
According to the Detroit Free Press, Michigan didn’t offer any financial incentives for the move. Georgia offered $23 million to Mercedes to move nearly 1,000 jobs to that state.
