Ralliant Corporation formally opened its global headquarters in Raleigh’s North Hills with a ribbon-cutting on March 5, 2026, an event attended by company leadership and local officials. The project represents a $2.1 million investment and is expected to create 180 jobs in Wake County, a move local and state officials framed as a win for the Research Triangle economy.

The company’s selection of North Hills followed a March 11, 2025 announcement from Governor Josh Stein that Ralliant would establish its global headquarters in Wake County and that the new company would invest $2.1 million and create 180 jobs. The governor’s release also said Ralliant will become an independent public company following a planned separation from Fortive Corporation in early Q3 2025 and that the business is built from Fortive’s Precision Technologies segment with approximately $2 billion in revenue.

Ralliant’s business focus in Raleigh centers on precision technologies across test and measurement, specialty sensors, and aerospace, defense, and space subsystems. AreaDevelopment and the company’s profile descriptions highlight products and services that “empower engineers” and support innovations “from life‑saving medical devices to advanced defense systems.” Tami Newcombe, identified as President and Chief Executive Officer of Ralliant, said, “Raleigh is an ideal location with its strong high‑tech research presence, top universities, skilled workforce, and proximity to our operating companies. We are excited to build our future here—driving breakthroughs, empowering progress, and shaping what’s next.”

Economic development partners credited with helping land the headquarters include the North Carolina Department of Commerce, the Economic Development Partnership of North Carolina, the North Carolina General Assembly, the North Carolina Community College System, N.C. Commerce’s Division of Workforce Solutions, Capital Area Workforce Development, Wake Technical Community College, N.C. State University, Wake County, the City of Raleigh, Raleigh Economic Development, and Wake County Economic Development. AreaDevelopment cited an incentive projection tied to JDIG that it reported as a 195 percent return on public dollars — described in that account as “meaning for every dollar of potential cost, the state receives $2.95 in state revenue” — and it noted that “JDIG projects result in positive net tax revenue to the state treasury, even after taking into consideration the grant’s reimbursement payments to a given company.”

State officials renewed support in remarks tied to the project. Commerce Secretary Lee Lilley said, “Ralliant’s decision to establish its headquarters in Raleigh reflects the city’s dynamic economy, highly skilled talent pool, and outstanding quality of life.” N.C. Senator Jay Chaudhuri said, “We’re excited to see a sophisticated technology company like Ralliant select Raleigh and Wake County for their world headquarters,” and N.C. Representative Tim Longest thanked the “many local, regional, and state economic development organizations that worked together to support Ralliant while they evaluated our area.”

Ralliant lists its headquarters city as “Raleigh, NC” on its corporate site and provides corporate contacts for acquisitions, investor relations, recruitment fraud reporting, and general communications at acquisitions@ralliant.com, investors@ralliant.com, applyassistance@ralliant.com, and communications@ralliant.com. The materials available to reporters identify the North Hills area as the site but do not supply a street address or a detailed breakdown of the 180 jobs; officials and company materials say hiring and further operational details will follow as the company establishes its presence in Wake County. The ribbon-cutting completes the public rollout that began with the March 11, 2025 announcement and positions Ralliant in Raleigh as it moves forward with its planned corporate transition and local hiring.
