Volvo Construction Equipment (Volvo CE) has announced that the company’s global headquarters will move from its current location in Brussels, Belgium, to Gothenburg, Sweden. The company says this relocation will facilitate closer cooperation with the Volvo Group‘s other business areas and allow for better usage of competence and resources of the whole group.
“Our Brussels location has served us well since the office opened in the 1980s and this move comes at the right time for Volvo CE as we continue to adapt our company to changing global business dynamics. It allows us to be physically closer to the other Volvo business areas and it will facilitate closer cooperation and sharing of best practices,” said Martin Weissburg, president of Volvo CE and member of the executive board of the Volvo Group. “Sweden is also home to approximately 4 000 Volvo CE employees and where some of our largest manufacturing, commercial and technology sites are located.”
The Volvo Group is one of the world’s leading manufacturers of trucks, buses, construction equipment and marine and industrial engines. The Group, which employs about 100,000 people, has production facilities in 18 countries and sells its products in more than 190 markets.
The Volvo CE headquarters will be operational in Gothenburg in the third quarter of 2017.
