Maersk’s New Charlotte-Based North American Headquarters Will Create 520 Jobs
Maersk will invest $16 million and add 520 jobs to centralize North American functions, increasing its Charlotte workforce to over 1,300 employees, officials said.
- Maersk selected Charlotte as its North American headquarters, Gov. Josh Stein announced on Tuesday, with a $16 million investment adding 520 jobs and raising the workforce to over 1,300.
- After a competitive search, Charlotte beat Atlanta as Maersk cited labor-market depth, transportation facilities, and the state's business climate, with Maersk's Steele Creek campus since 2006 informing the choice.
- Average pay is expected to be nearly $101,000, with new jobs generating more than $52.5 million in annual payroll; state approved up to $7.9 million over 12 years and local governments add about $500,000.
- State officials estimate the project will boost North Carolina's economy by $1.5 billion, and the Charlotte HQ will house finance, human resources, commercial strategy and technology teams, expanding local workforce and small businesses.
- Maersk, which operates in 130 countries with about 100,000 employees, employs more than 10,000 in North America, positioning Charlotte as a significant regional hub after last week's Scout Motors headquarters decision.
