Governor Brian P. Kemp announced on Mar. 18 that Glytec, a healthcare technology company, will move its global headquarters to Cobb County and create 500 new jobs over the coming years.
The relocation is expected to boost Georgia’s position as a center for healthcare innovation and bring economic growth to the metro Atlanta area. Glytec specializes in software and services that help hospitals manage insulin levels for diabetic patients.
Kemp said, “Georgia’s skilled workforce and business-friendly approach have fostered success for global healthcare technologies like Glytec, making the Peach State an international hub of innovation and growth in this field. This particular project will add high-paying jobs in Cobb County while serving as another reminder of Georgia’s status as the No. 1 state for business.”
Glytec CEO Patrick Cua said, “Glytec started with a Georgia physician who realized there was a better way to manage inpatient diabetes care, and we wouldn’t be any more excited to come home. Georgia was the clear winner of our selection process for the growth stage of our company due to its favorable business environment, world-class global connectivity, and high quality of living for our employees. We appreciate the great work our partners at the Georgia Department of Economic Development and Cobb County did to make today’s announcement a reality.”
The new headquarters will be located at 2300 Windy Ridge Parkway near Cumberland. Initial spending on preparing the facility is estimated at $100,000, with larger investments planned as Glytec grows.
Sharon Mason, president and CEO of the Cobb Chamber, said, “We are thrilled to welcome Glytec, an innovative leader in healthcare IT, to our business community. This relocation reflects the strength of Cobb County and Georgia’s business ecosystem and our ability to attract high-growth companies shaping the future of healthcare technology. The addition of 500 high-quality jobs will create new opportunities for our residents while driving continued investment in our local economy.”
Katie Kirkpatrick, President and CEO of the Metro Atlanta Chamber added: “The growth of metro Atlanta’s life sciences and technology sectors is powered by our greatest asset: talent. With world-class universities and a deep, diverse workforce, companies like Glytec have the people they need to innovate and scale. That access to talent continues to fuel our region’s momentum.”
Statewide Project Manager Haley Casola represented the Georgia Department of Economic Development (GDEcD) on this project along with Select Cobb, Georgia Power, and the Metro Atlanta Chamber.
Pat Wilson, GDEcD Commissioner said: “Choosing where to scale operations is a pivotal moment for a growing company, and we are thrilled that Glytec has chosen Georgia for its global headquarters. With a strong healthcare technology sector and a growing life sciences community, Georgia is an ideal place for innovators advancing new solutions in patient outcomes. Congratulations to Glytec on this exciting milestone.”
According to the official website, the Georgia State Executive operates from Atlanta at the Governor’s Mansion—a Greek Revival-style residence built in 1967—and leads state government as part of its executive branch. The authority extends across all counties within Georgia. The office also established representation in Japan in 1973 for international economic development purposes.
