Hitachi Construction Machinery Americas held a ceremony to open its new state-of-the-art headquarters in Newnan, Georgia, for the development and production of new machinery and to elevate customer support.
The company entered the North American market more than 40 years ago, opening an office in Marietta, Georgia, in 1981. Since then, it has continued to expand sites within the state.
Spanning 19 acres, the Newman site was originally established as a wheel loader assembly and manufacturing plant in 1987 and has served as company headquarters since 2018.
According to, Al Quinn, CEO of Hitachi Construction Machinery Americas, changes at the facility represent and reinforce the company’s commitment to people, excellence, and the environment. He said the new regional headquarters will help the company focus on key growth areas including the compact and construction business network in North, Central, and South America and expansion in sales of mining excavators for construction and quarry and mining sites.
“By combining the resources of the excavator, loader, and mining businesses, the company has experienced a tenfold demand from previous years,” Quinn said.
Since taking the lead for the brand’s construction and mining equipment in the Americas, the company has more than tripled its employee count.
Encompassing 88,128 square feet of office space and 27,686 square feet dedicated to conference, ConSite command center, and training space, the headquarters has been designed to enhance creativity and inspire future growth.
