Daimler Dumps New Jersey For New Headquarters In Michigan!

Daimler North America Corp. said Wednesday it will move its headquarters to Michigan from New Jersey, bringing 30 jobs to the Great Lakes state.

Gov. Rick Snyder made the announcement after meeting with Daimler executives at the Frankfurt auto show. Daimler North America is the holding company for all of the company’s business units in the United States.

“Michigan is the world’s automotive leader, and Daimler’s decision to increase its presence in state is another indication that we intend to hold that position for generations to come,” Snyder said. “This company has long been a valued member of our business community. Michigan is leading the United States in creating new auto jobs and our leadership extends across all parts of the industry — manufacturing, R&D, engineering and technology development.”

New Jersey is corrupt and not business friendly.

Lots of business are fleeing for other better-run states.

The people of New Jersey vote thugs into office -- this is what they get. NO JOBS.

Michigan has the UAW unions up there. Could be a problem if they ever build an auto plant.

I don't think Daimler is planning to open a new plant in the U.S. anytime soon, especially not for any of their sedans

The last I heard was the MB was moving to Georgia. Did this recently change?
