STROLLING OUT: Newell Brands HQ Heads Back to Atlanta, Leaving E-Commerce in Hoboken

In addition to its baby products, Newell Brands is a leading global consumer goods company with a strong portfolio of household names—including Rubbermaid, Paper Mate, Sharpie, Coleman, Jostens, Marmot, Graco, Calphalon, and Yankee Candle.

According to The Atlanta Journal-Constitution, “A spokeswoman said fewer than 100 jobs will be returning to Georgia, with the company’s e-commerce division and about 200 workers remaining in Hoboken.”

As we reported in 2016, the New Jersey Economic Development Authority offered $27 million in tax incentives to help offset the costs associated with Newell’s Hoboken facility.

Newell says today’s announced relocation was made, “in order to facilitate a stronger connection between senior leaders and the operations of the business, and to enhance the company’s culture and sense of community.”
