Beckhoff USA’s Georgia office will serve as home base for local sales and support engineers, as well as regional hub for training and seminars

Beckhoff Automation has opened a new regional office in the greater Atlanta area. With more than 5,000 square feet, the facility is designed to boost sales, support and training capabilities in addition to accommodating customer meetings, seminars and other events. Strategically located in Alpharetta, Georgia, the office is designed to ensure Beckhoff customer and market share growth across the southeastern United States.

The Atlanta-area facility features a training room to keep customers and employees up to date on the latest advances in automation software, networking and motion control. To support special projects and proof-of-concept validation for customers, the office also has a research and development room stocked with technologies that Beckhoff engineers can use to collaborate with experts across industries.

Alpharetta is home to more than 600 tech companies, which employ a significant percentage of the area’s residents. Alpharetta also maintains a strong talent pool of recent graduates from the area’s universities. The Beckhoff office is located in the Sanctuary Park, a business campus that resides on a 150-acre nature preserve. The location also offers transportation to downtown Atlanta and Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport.

“The new Atlanta office has already become the home base for our Georgia-based team of sales and application engineers and the main hub for our Southeast Region,” said Buck Tanner, business development manager at Beckhoff USA. “Beckhoff continues to experience significant market share growth across industries in Georgia and surrounding states, with many customers who are excited to redefine what’s possible through adaptive automation technologies like XTS and XPlanar. With the new facility in Alpharetta, we’re not only creating opportunities for our team to collaborate and share knowledge, but we’re also demonstrating a firm commitment to our customers and their success.”

In addition to the expansion in Atlanta, Beckhoff has opened new or relocated U.S. facilities in 2024 in Los Angeles, Chicago and Austin, Texas. Along with its U.S. headquarters in the Minneapolis area, Beckhoff maintains numerous regional offices in metropolitan areas across the United States.
