Sony Ericsson to Move Headquarters to Atlanta, Cut Jobs

Nov 18, 2009, 1:15 PM by Eric M. Zeman

Today Sony Ericsson confirmed that previously announced staff reductions and other cost cutting measures are well underway. As part of an announcement made in April of this year, Sony Ericsson is set to reduce its head count by about 2,000 people. Part of this will come from facility closings in North America, including its current headquarters in North Carolina, which employs about 420 people. The headquarters will be relocated to Atlanta, which Sony Ericsson said is ideal due to its proximity to AT&T's facilities there.
