Duracell Announces Relocation of R&D Headquarters to Atlanta<\/b><\/p>\n

The New Location will Provide the Battery Maker with State-Of-The-Art Facilities, Modern Workspaces and Advanced Technology Infrastructure in the Tech Hub of the South<\/b><\/p>\n

BETHEL, Conn.–(BUSINESS WIRE<\/a>)–Duracell<\/a>, one of the world\u2019s leading battery manufacturers, today announced the relocation of its Research and Development (R&D) headquarters to Atlanta, Georgia. The new R&D facility, scheduled to open in Summer 2026, will be housed in the new state-of-the-art Science Square Labs building.\n<\/p>\n

\n\u201cThis move is a significant milestone for Duracell as we continue to drive innovation in battery technology for many years to come and we\u2019re excited about the opportunities that our Atlanta move will bring,\u201d said Dr. Liben Hailu, Chief Technology Officer at Duracell. \u201cWe\u2019re confident that this new chapter will strengthen our position as a global leader in the industry.”\n<\/p>\n

\nThe new R&D facility at Science Square Labs will be designed to support Duracell\u2019s continued growth and innovation. The modern space, developed by Trammell Crow Company, a global real estate developer, will serve as Duracell\u2019s innovation hub and will feature state-of-the-art laboratories, modern collaborative workspaces, and advanced technology infrastructure to support groundbreaking research and development activities. The move is expected to bring more than 100 jobs to the Atlanta job market.\n<\/p>\n

\n\u201cWe are thrilled to see Duracell join the Science Square community,\u201d said \u00c1ngel Cabrera, President of Georgia Tech. \u201cThis collaboration is a testament to our ongoing efforts to bridge academia and industry, fostering an environment where innovative ideas can thrive and lead to groundbreaking advancements.\u201d\n<\/p>\n

\n\u201cGeorgia is at the forefront of innovation and Duracell\u2019s decision to locate their R&D headquarters in Atlanta is just the latest confirmation that we have what businesses want,\u201d said Governor Brian Kemp. \u201cI want to thank our local and state partners who are leveraging those assets to their fullest to bring new opportunities across the state.\u201d\n<\/p>\n

\nThroughout the transition period Duracell will provide comprehensive support programs combined with generous resources from the state to assist with the relocation process and will maintain its focus on high employee morale and engagement.\n<\/p>\n

\n“Our decision to move Duracell’s R&D headquarters to Atlanta is strategic and driven by several key factors,” said Dr. Liben Hailu, Chief Technology Officer at Duracell. “The vibrant technology ecosystem, access to top-tier talent, and the close geographical proximity to our manufacturing facilities will strengthen our ability to innovate with speed and efficiency and deliver superior products to our consumers and customers.”\n<\/p>\n

\nDuracell was represented by Chad Koenig and Katelyn Fabian with Partners Real Estate in securing their new location and, for legal services, by Bradley Arant Boult Cummings LLP.\n<\/p>\n
