Boehringer Ingelheim Opens US Animal Health Headquarters in Johns Creek, Georgia

Boehringer Ingelheim has opened a new US Animal Health headquarters in Johns Creek, Georgia, the company announced on 24 September 2026, expanding its footprint in a state that already hosts research, development, and manufacturing operations.

The new facility brings together employees and commercial activities under one roof, with the company stating it is intended to support collaboration and the development of animal health solutions for both companion animals and livestock.

Peter Ploeger, US Animal Health country managing director at Boehringer Ingelheim, said the location was chosen deliberately. "The animals we care for and the customers we serve are at the center of everything we do," Ploeger said, adding that the headquarters was designed to bring employees together, support collaboration, and strengthen the company's ability to develop solutions for companion animals, livestock, and the people who care for them.

Johns Creek was selected, according to Boehringer Ingelheim, for its access to talent within what the company described as a growing life sciences and innovation corridor, as well as its proximity to the company's other Georgia operations. The Johns Creek site complements existing facilities in Athens, which host research, development, and manufacturing operations, and in Gainesville, which hosts manufacturing operations.

Dr Armin Wiesler, member of the Board of Managing Directors of Boehringer Ingelheim's Animal Health Business Unit, said the investment underlines the importance of the US market to the company's global animal health activities. The company said the new headquarters will support its efforts to deliver animal health solutions internationally, spanning both companion animal and livestock markets.

As part of the opening ceremony, Boehringer Ingelheim donated NexGard® Plus parasite protection to the Johns Creek Police Department's K-9 Unit. Alexandra McMenamy, head of Pet at Boehringer Ingelheim US Animal Health, joined local officials in presenting the donation. The company noted the donation followed International Dog Day on 26 August.

Boehringer Ingelheim's Animal Health business develops medicines, vaccines, and other solutions for companion animals and livestock, with its Georgia operations supporting research, manufacturing, and commercial activities.
