Duracell is relocating its Research and Development headquarters from Bethel, Connecticut, to Atlanta, Georgia, by summer 2026, with a $56 million investment that will create 110 new jobs. The new facility will be situated at Science Square near Georgia Tech, offering state-of-the-art facilities and access to a vibrant technology ecosystem.
