NCR Corp. sent a letter to its Dayton employees dated June 2 announcing that the company has selected Duluth, Ga., for its worldwide headquarters campus and Columbus, Ga., for a new North American manufacturing plant.

At the same time, the company confirms that the historic headquarters in Dayton will be lost, leaving only data center and local support jobs in Dayton.

The letter to employees said, “Approximately 1,250 additional jobs will be created at NCR’s existing facility in Duluth by centralizing business strategy, technology development and support functions into a single U.S. campus from several offices, including NCR’s current worldwide headquarters in Dayton, Ohio. NCR’s operations in Dayton will continue to include its data center and support for local customers.”

Approximately 870 jobs will be created at a new Columbus, Georgia site, which NCR will use to manufacture advanced ATMs, including intelligent deposit, the letter said. NCR is to begin recruiting immediately for its manufacturing plant. The City of Columbus will use stimulus funding, provided by the Economic Development Authority, to purchase the building for the plant, which will be leased back by NCR.

The company says it is creating “a new global self-service innovation headquarters and a state-of-the-art manufacturing site for the company’s next generation NCR SelfServ ATM family.”

NCR’s latest investment follows its announcement last October that it would establish a global Center of Excellence for its worldwide customer services business in Peachtree City, creating 916 jobs. NCR’s retail line of business is already based in Duluth.
