Fermob USA, the U.S. arm of French outdoor furniture and lighting producer Fermob, has relocated to a new 40,000 square-foot warehouse and corporate office just north of Atlanta in Cumming, Ga.
The company was previously located in Dawsonville, Ga., but officials said they had outgrown the 19,000 square-foot facility.
“Fermob USA has grown steadily over the years and we needed more warehouse space to accommodate our growth,” said Leslie Thompson, the company’s chief operating officer. “We are thrilled about our European-inspired building as it offers a modern open office design to encourage collaboration among our employees. The new warehouse will help us streamline our processes and increase efficiencies so we can continue to grow and serve our customers.”
The company recently hosted a grand opening and ribbon cutting ceremony to celebrate the milestone. In attendance were Fermob President Bernard Reybier, Congressman Rob Woodall, (R-Ga.), several local elected officials and business leaders, and representatives of the French Consulate General’s office in Atlanta.
