Yamaha USA moving headquarters out of So Cal

[SoCal250]

Yamaha is moving its US HQ from Southern California where it's been located for nearly 50 years, and relocating it to Kennesaw, GA where it has other facilities. As part of the move the company is selling the offices, warehouses and the land it owns at the current site in Cypress, CA.

Pretty sad. I just rode by there on Katella Avenue yesterday. Companies continue to bail out of this state.

Fortunately, or unfortunately, you get what you vote for. People and companies seem to continue to leave your state in large numbers.

Here in Texas Newsome is known as Governor U-haul.

Great - now 2 of my favorite companies headquartered in Metro Atlanta - Porsche and Yamaha.

I found this interesting as I really didn't know much about Yamaha as a company here in the USA. So I googled this move of headquarters. One article I read stated that their official reason to move is to more centralize various operations and the other reason which can be a bit more interesting is that the tariffs are to blame. Not sure how the latter relates but I imagine maybe it just makes more fiscal sense to consolidate the companies management?

It's to avoid the taxes in California they are instituting...
