The aluminum company Novelis Inc. has announced that nearly 80 of the company’s employees will be moving from its Cleveland office to Atlanta, the new site of the company’s world headquarters.
The consolidation, when combined with other expected staff additions, will bring Novelis' Atlanta staff to about 220 people by the end of this year.
Novelis chose Atlanta as its world headquarters in 2005 when it was spun off from Canadian aluminum producer Alcan.
"The move of our North American headquarters to Atlanta will not only streamline our processes, but will also better align the North American business group with the global corporate center and vice versa," says Philip Martens, president and COO of Novelis. "North America is one of our biggest markets, and it just makes good business sense to consolidate these operations at our Atlanta-based corporate headquarters."
Jean-Marc Germain, president of Novelis North America, says, "This step will help Novelis become more nimble as a company and better prepare us for future growth. The synergies and other benefits this consolidation brings will make for better decision-making and foster a stronger working team."
