NEW YORK - NCR Corp (NCR.N), which makes automated teller machines (ATMs), is moving its corporate headquarters to Georgia, and also bringing about 2,000 new manufacturing and services jobs to the state.
The company, which is currently headquartered in Dayton, Ohio, plans to create about 1,250 jobs by centralizing most of its operations into a single campus in Duluth, Georgia, NCR said in a statement on Tuesday.
Some of the 1,200 jobs in Dayton will be transferred to Duluth as part of the relocation, but that office will retain NCR's data center and local customer support.
The exact number of Dayton jobs that will move to Duluth will be determined during the transition, which begins in July, NCR spokesman Alan Ulman said. NCR's retail operations are already based in Duluth.
Another about 870 jobs will come from a new Columbus, Georgia, manufacturing plant that will build advanced ATMs, including things like "intelligent deposit", the company said.
Ulman declined to address whether any jobs will be cut due to the relocation.
Last month, the company posted a wider-than-expected first-quarter loss and cut its 2009 outlook, citing the difficult economic environment.
NCR shares were down 25 cents at $11.14 on the New York Stock Exchange.
