Logistics & Transportation

A Launchpad for International Logistics

Georgia has one of the highest concentrations of transportation employment in the US, with close to 11% of metro Atlanta area employment involved in transportation and material moving.

Major international businesses in Georgia have trusted North Fulton for decades, including UPS and its global headquarters in Sandy Springs. The region offers direct access to expanding GA Highway 400 and Interstate 285, and 80% of the US population is within a two-hour flight from Hartsfield-Jackson International Airport. We’re also hours from two major ports (including the Western Hemisphere’s largest single-terminal container facility) and the Southeast’s most extensive rail system.

Add to that the state’s job creation incentives, abundant commercial regional real estate, and fast permitting processes, and North Fulton offers an environment of logistics excellence with trusted global reach.

Positioned at the center of the Southeast’s economic engine, North Fulton connects to major regional markets within the Southeast as well as global hubs throughout the world.

United Parcel Service (UPS) has held its global corporate headquarters in Sandy Springs for more than three decades. Standing among the most prominent major international businesses in Georgia, UPS’ 745,000-square-foot facility is home to more than 3,000 global shipping coordinators, team leads, and executives. The company operates across more than 200 countries and territories and generated $88.7 billion in revenue in 2025.

The city of Johns Creek represents another major hub for U.S. commerce. Saia headquarters serves as the center for the freight and logistics company with over 200 employees.

Complementing these major headquarters is a thriving network of specialized logistics and workforce service providers across the region, including OTR Solutions, a trucking, freight, and fleet solutions company; TeamOne Logistics, a people management company; and the Ryder Customer Response Center, to name a few.

Offering multi-modal transportation access, industrial and corporate space, and a deep talent pool, North Fulton leverages key Georgia global advantages to deliver an unmatched environment for distribution, logistics, and global commerce.
