French multinational automotive manufacturer Groupe PSA, which makes Peugeot as well as Citroen, DS, Opel and Vauxhall Motors vehicles, has selected Atlanta for its North American headquarters, Georgia Gov. Nathan Deal announced Tuesday morning.

“We looked at every aspect of the Atlanta community and found it to be the most suitable location for us,” PSA North America President Larry Dominique said in a press release. “While the overall business environment, standard of living and university system played an important part in our decision, our unique needs in terms of technology, mobility innovation and car culture ultimately identified Atlanta as our perfect choice.”

Officials did not identify where Groupe PSA would locate, beyond being in Fulton County, or how many square feet it would lease.

This is the third major automotive headquarters to name Atlanta home.
