The new headquarters of an international company will help create Atlanta tech jobs and other positions.

The Georgia Department of Economic Development recently announced that Sepmag Technologies plans to locate its North American headquarters in Atlanta, a move that will invest $150,000 into the local economy and create specialized biotech engineering jobs and sales jobs.

“Georgia’s stock as a true competitor in the biotech sector is enhanced when we’re able to attract leading international companies like Sepmag Technologies to do business in our state,” GDED Commissioner Ken Stewart said. “By choosing Georgia, Sepmag can tap into the state’s competitive resources for this industry, including world-class research institutions, intellectual capital and a pipeline of the brightest talent.”

Spain-based Sepmag Technologies develops, manufactures and markets proprietary biotech products. The company uses proprietary magnet-based technologies to develop precision equipment that serves the in vitro diagnostics industry and the larger biotech community.

“When our board decided to open the U.S. subsidiary, we first considered markets along the East Coast as primary locations,” Sepmag CEO Lluis M. Martinez said. “After meeting the GDED staff last April, we were encouraged by the strong Georgia nanotechnology and biotech cluster. Coupled with the Hartsfield-Jackson airport, the result was to choose Atlanta as our North American base.”

“We are pleased to welcome Sepmag to the City of Atlanta’s growing life science cluster,” Gregg Simon, manager of business engagement for the Atlanta Development Authority, said. “Sepmag’s decision to select Atlanta for its North American headquarters is a reflection of the strength of Atlanta’s knowledge assets anchored by Morehouse School of Medicine, Georgia Tech, Emory Healthcare and Georgia State University. Many life science businesses start off small and grow to large operations and we are confident that they have selected the right environment in which to grow and prosper.”
