The goal of the new office is to enhance collaboration and foster innovation and primary support for the company's newest product, Sage Life, produced in partnership with Salesforce. This new Midtown location will join the company's existing operations in Lawrenceville. Between the two facilities, Sage will have approximately 1,000 employees in the Atlanta metro area.

CSM's facility will consolidate several regional functions into one central location. More than 800 people will be employed at the Sandy Springs facility. These will be new and relocating employees. The move should be complete by the middle of 2016. The facility will also include a Customer Experience Center where CSM will showcase its culinary expertise and many of its products. CSM is one of the largest players in the baking industry with revenues of about $3 billion. The company provides specialized ingredients including dry mixes, fillings, icings, glazes, mlange, toppings, batter, frozen dough and more. It also provides finished products including cakes, donuts, muffins, brownies, cookies and specialty bread.
A new distribution center in the south Bibb County area for a package delivery company has been announced, however, officials have not revealed which company will be building the center. The company currently being referred to as Project Ryan is expected to create 200 jobs. The company has applied to build a nearly 250,000-square-foot distribution center on a 33-acre parcel that includes 405 parking spaces in the I-75 Business Park off Hartley Bridge Road in Macon.
