Atos Origin to move national headquarters to Sugar Land

Atos Origin Inc. has chosen Sugar Land for the location of its North American headquarters.

An international information technology services provider, the company will bring a minimum of 55 leadership jobs to the city starting this August.

To attract Atos Origin, the Sugar Land Economic Development Department crafted an incentive package, which was recently approved by Sugar Land City Council. The incentive is based on the company locating to Sugar Land in the Offices of Kensington, maintaining a certain number of jobs and generating new sales tax revenues for the city.

As one of the top 10 international IT service providers in the world, Atos Origin generates annual revenues of $7.2 billion and employs 49,000 people, according to City of Sugar Land spokesperson Doug Adolph. Its international headquarters is located in France. From Sugar Land, the firm will oversee 800 employees in the United States and Canada.
