Yamaha Latest Company to Flee Democrat-run CaliforniaJohn Nolte 10 Mar 2026
Yamaha Motor Corp. is joining the parade of corporations fleeing Democrat-run California.
Orange County has been home to Yamaha for some 50 years. Currently, the company employs about 250 Californians and occupies a 279,000-square-foot office building on a 25-acre campus.
Yamaha will begin the move this year and expects to finish its relocation to Georgia by 2028.
“The motorcycle and motorsports giant says the move is part of major ‘structural reforms’ meant to boost profits as costs climb — including pressure from tariffs imposed during the administration of President Donald Trump and shifting market conditions,” reports the California Post.
“Georgia isn’t new territory for Yamaha,” the report adds. “The company already shifted its marine division there in 1999 and moved its motorsports operations in 2019 — making the headquarters relocation the final piece of the puzzle.”
I do find the mention of Trump’s tariffs interesting. It’s not as though those tariffs are unique to companies located in the former Golden State. Yamaha will pay those same tariffs in Georgia.
