Boehringer Ingelheim Opens U.S. Animal Health Headquarters

A global life-science leader plants its U.S. animal-health flag at Medley in Johns Creek — choosing North Fulton for its talent and its place in a growing life-science corridor.

North Fulton’s life-science momentum just gained a global anchor. Boehringer Ingelheim has celebrated the grand opening of its new U.S. Animal Health headquarters in Johns Creek, relocating the operation to roughly 73,000 square feet at Medley, the city’s emerging mixed-use town center.

The company points to the reasons North Fulton keeps winning these decisions: access to exceptional talent and a location wired into a growing life-science corridor, with ties to its manufacturing operations in Athens and Gainesville. For one of the world’s largest animal-health companies to center its U.S. business here is a clear vote of confidence in the region’s people and its trajectory.

“The animals we care for and the customers we serve are at the center of everything we do,” said Peter Ploeger, U.S. Animal Health Country Managing Director, Boehringer Ingelheim. “This headquarters was designed to bring our people together, inspire collaboration, and strengthen our ability to develop solutions that improve the lives of companion animals, livestock, and the people who care for them. We are proud to call Johns Creek home and excited about the impact we will create together.”

“Georgia continues to attract world-class companies because of our skilled workforce, business-friendly environment, and commitment to innovation,” said Georgia Gov. Brian P. Kemp. “Boehringer Ingelheim’s investment in Johns Creek, along with their strong support of First Lady Marty Kemp’s animal welfare efforts and K-9 law enforcement officers, reinforces their commitment to being a long-term partner with the State of Georgia.”

“We are proud to welcome a company committed to the well-being of animals,” said Mayor John Bradberry. “Boehringer Ingelheim’s support of the Johns Creek Police Department’s K-9 Unit is greatly appreciated.”

It’s a marquee win for Johns Creek and for North Fulton — the kind of headquarters that reflects a business climate in a class of its own, and a region built for what’s next in the industries shaping the future.
