Partnership Gwinnett, the region’s leading public-private economic development initiative, celebrated the 1,300 new jobs, 2,100 retained jobs, and $395M in economic impact in 2025 at the annual Gwinnett Company Reception. The event brought together business leaders, investors, elected officials, and community stakeholders to recognize companies that chose to relocate or expand in Gwinnett over the past year.  

“When companies choose Gwinnett, they are choosing more than a building or a business address — they are choosing a connected ecosystem built for growth,” said Kevin Carmichael, Senior Vice President of Partnership Gwinnett. “Our strength lies in how government, education, and industry work together to move projects from vision to execution. The companies we recognize today are deepening roots and reinforcing Gwinnett’s position as one of the most competitive business environments in the Southeast. That momentum is intentional, and we are committed to sustaining it.” 

This year’s event welcomed companies across Partnership Gwinnett’s five target sectors – Information Technology Solutions, Health Sciences and Services, Corporate and Professional Services, Supply Chain Management, and Advanced Manufacturing – each playing a pivotal role in driving economic growth, creating jobs, and enhancing the local business ecosystem. Honorees included Nam De Mun, Nanolumens, Office Creations, Engelman’s Bakery, Socomec, PAI Manufacturing, Gezolan, Yamaguchi MFG USA, Real Truck, Tempus AI, Ventura Foods, and Eastern Company. 

Partnership Gwinnett will deliver its full annual report at the March 12 Economic Outlook presented by Gateway85 CID.  The event will feature a panel of community leaders including Chairwoman Nicole Love Hendrickson, Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners; Jay Dennard, Northside Hospital; Jamila Pope, Intuitive; Lisa Anders, Explore Gwinnett; and Dr. Al Taylor, Gwinnett County Public Schools. Economist Dr. Alfie Meek will close the program with insights on how Gwinnett’s business world is evolving. He’ll cover everything from AI and monetary policy to inflation, interest rates, recession risks, federal debt, and more.
