Pa. company’s move will bring dozens of jobs to South Charlotte headquarters
A Pennsylvania company with $928 million in annual revenue plans to relocate to SouthPark in Charlotte in mid-2020.
Glatfelter, a manufacturer and supplier of paper and non-woven material, announced in an earnings report Thursday it would relocate to Charlotte from York, Pa., in central Pennsylvania.
Glatfelter is moving to the Capitol Towers building at 4250 Congress St., company spokeswoman Eileen Beck said.
The company has about 2,600 employees worldwide, and expects to relocate 50 to 60 jobs to Charlotte over time, Beck said.
No local economic development incentives were included in the move, she said.
Glatfelter CEO Dante Parrini said in a statement the decision to move was in part because Charlotte is a “larger metropolitan area” and the city gives access to a “larger pool of critical resources and talent for future growth.”
Parrini also said proximity to Charlotte Douglas International Airport was a factor in the move, allowing for easy business travel.
The Charlotte Ledger newsletter first reported the news. It’s not yet clear where in Charlotte the company would move.
Charlotte has been a magnet for corporate headquarter relocations lately, including Honeywell and Dentsply Sirona.
