Governor Brian P. Kemp has announced that CRH plans to expand its presence in metro Atlanta, intending to create over 300 new jobs with an investment of $1.7 million in a new Finance & Accounting Shared Services Center in Fulton County. The new facility will support CRH’s Americas Materials Solutions business, headquartered in the same area.

Gov. Kemp emphasized the positive effects of CRH's investment, saying, “CRH’s latest investment in Georgia is more proof that our state’s collaborative approach to economic development works for both prospective job creators and those already operating in our state.” He highlighted the contribution of such investments to generating quality jobs and maintaining Georgia’s reputation as a prime business state.

CRH Americas Materials Solutions, known for providing a range of construction services and materials, regards the new center as key to supporting ongoing growth. Rob Dinkins, Chief Financial Officer of CRH Americas Materials Solutions, stated the importance of the location: “Access to leading talent, infrastructure, and support from the State and local community made it clear that this location would be a key enabler for the project’s success.”

The Shared Services Center is set to be at 1120 Sanctuary Parkway in Roswell, with current recruitment efforts focusing on staffing the facility by 2029. More information about job applications is available at www.crhamericas.com/careers.

Roswell Mayor Kurt Wilson praised the selection of Roswell, asserting, “Roswell provides an ideal environment for companies like CRH to flourish, and their decision to expand their operations here is a testament to the strength of our community and our dedication to economic growth.”

Chairman Robb Pitts of the Fulton County Board of Commissioners acknowledged the investment’s impact, “This multimillion-dollar investment, creating more than 300 jobs, highlights our skilled workforce and innovation-driven ecosystem.”

Metro Atlanta Chamber President and CEO Katie Kirkpatrick emphasized CRH's decision as indicative of the area's global appeal, noting, “With operations in 28 countries, CRH’s presence in Metro Atlanta underscores our region’s international diversity and strong global appeal.”

Elizabeth McLean, Assistant Director of Statewide Projects, referred to collaboration between various organizations, including the Georgia Department of Economic Development and the Metro Atlanta Chamber, in realizing the project.
