Daimler North America Corp. is moving its headquarters to Michigan from New Jersey, and with it 30 white-collar jobs.
Gov. Rick Snyder announced the relocation Wednesday after meeting with Daimler executives at Germany's Frankfurt Auto Show. The jobs currently in Park Ridge, New Jersey, include treasury, legal, accounting and legal positions.
Daimler's Michigan operations include the headquarters for Mercedes-Benz's financial services and research and development, and Daimler Trucks' subsidiary Detroit Diesel.
Daimler spokeswoman Andrea Berg says the move will start next year. The headquarters will be in Farmington Hills, where the financial services operations are based.
Snyder, who has completed a trade trip to Germany and Japan, also announced the opening of a Michigan Europe Center to boost trade and exports. Those offices will be in Berlin and London.
